Description
From the Hans Zimmer film Interstellar.
Jupiter - The RAH's 9999 (it may be only 9997) piped pipe organ, built in 1871 by Henry Willis, and is the 2nd largest pipe organ in the UK (the largest being in Liverpool Cathedral).
Key facts (from the RAH website):
- The largest of the 9,999 pipes measures 2 ft 6” in diameter, 42 ft high and weighs almost 1 tonne – the smallest pipe is about as wide as a drinking straw.
- The organ measures 70 ft high and 65 ft wide, and weighs in at 150 tonnes.
- If laid end to end, the pipes would span approximately nine miles.
