THE GREAT ST. BERNARD.
THE HOSPICE.—The organ, which stands at the west end, appears to have been brought forward, as the colour of the wood-work at the side shows, the front panels looking older than those behind. The bellows stand in a high box on the north side of the instrument, and are dated 1812, which I fancy must mean the date of some reparation, as the case looks older. The front consists of three flat towers, of five pipes each, with flats between. On the centre tower, which is the tallest, is a standing figure, and above the side towers are seated figures. It has black naturals, and the sharps have an ivory line down them. The key-board has four octaves and two notes, C C to D, no lower, C C#. The pedal-board is one octave and four notes, C C C to E, no lower, C C C#, with an iron bar for a rest over them. When I heard the organ it was much out of order, and the wind was leaky. The full organ tone was still good.
