Mechanical Hand


So one of the unique features of the organ at Norwich Cathedral, historically, is that there was no direct means of communication between the organist and choir director. So a mechanical hand was installed to let the director know at what tempo the organist would be playing a particular piece. The hand is still there, but, of course, the organist now can at least see the director by way of a video screen.
