The Holtkamp Organ: A Photo Tour of the Organ
Part 6 of 6: The Reservoir
This is a storage container for the wind. The top part of the container is expandable, like a fan or accordian. Weights or springs are used on the expandable part to keep the air under pressure. If the wind going to the pipes is not under the same, constant pressure, the sound will waver and the note will warble (Pipe Organ Glossary).
