Our last day in Olomouc we got to visit the cathedral again and meet the organist who took us up to the organ loft, told us about the organ and played several pieces for us. The main organ was built in 1886 and rennovated in 1986. It has approx 3000 pipes and 50 registers. There are 4 other smaller organs in the cathedral and once they had a concert with 3 of them at once.
He kind of looks like a guy off the street, but it was really cold in there. He was full of interesting info and showed us miniature of the pipes and talked about how the sound was made.
