Montre Pipes
Raphi wanted to try to make the Montre, Prestant and Doublette ranks in the French
Romantic style which is without ears. Therefore I didn't cut the mouth into the
pipe front like I did for the Bourdon pipes. Instead, I simply cut across the
pipe front. I also beveled the leading edge of the caps to more closely
simulate metal pipes. The scale for the Montre pipes is out of the Laukhuff
catalog. The bottom octave is borrowed from the Bourdon rank so there are only
46 Montre pipes. All the Montre pipe are fitted with tuning slides. Pipes C-D2#
make up the façade and pipes E2-A3 are mounted on the windchest. Here's a
sketch showing a front and cross section view of a Montre pipe followed by a
table of dimensions (inches) for the entire rank:
