Newberry Memorial Organ, Historic pipe organ in Woolsey Hall at Yale University, United States.
The Newberry Memorial Organ features 197 ranks and 166 stops, containing 12,617 pipes that stretch from the stage to the back of the hall.
The organ was initially constructed by Hutchings-Votey in 1902, then expanded by J.W. Steere in 1915, and reached its current configuration through Skinner Organ Company in 1928.
Yale University organists perform regular concerts on this instrument, demonstrating its capacity to replicate sounds of piccolos, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, and strings.
Two 20-horsepower turbines in the basement, which are the oldest functioning electric motors in Connecticut, generate sufficient air to power all pipes simultaneously.
The organ includes a specialized echo division located in the basement chamber, producing soft sounds that complement the main instrument's powerful voice.
