View of windchest pallet box interior. One of the "pallets", the valve that admits wind into the pipes, is being opened by hand. Once installed in the organ, this pallet will be connected to the mechanical key action that runs from keyboard to pallet. Electric pull down magnets can be seen at the bottom, which allow the organ to be played from keys at the electric stage console.
