The pallet system used in this organ
Het orgel in Norrlanda
Het orgel in Norrlanda
When the space under the pallet leather fills with wind, teh pallet makes an absolutely tight seal against the channel (see the figure on the right). This has great advantages with respect to the attack and decay of the pipe's speech.
This principal was already being applied during organ building in the gothic period of the 14th century. On the left you can see an image the organ in Norrlanda Sweden where this type of pallet construction was already being used.

The upper part of the photograph shows
the topside of the pallet with a groove
over which the valve leather has been glued.
The lower part shows a small hole drilled
through the underside.

X = boring aan onderzijde
X marks a small opening drilled through the pallet
via wich the organ wind can get underneath the leather.
