One of the two Zimbelsterns in the Rückpositif of the Örgryte organ. The small bells are located near the hub of this device and a small axle rotates a gold leaf star on the case of the Rückpositif. Note the metal tube (bottom right corner) which feeds air from the windchests and spins the blades of the Zimbelstern.

The quality and care of construction are in evidence everywhere one looks inside the Örgryte organ. Attention was paid to every detail, from the casting of the pipe metal on beds of sand to the forging of cast-iron hardware for the hinges and nails. All this done with the goal of achieving the finest possible vision into the understanding of the North German Organ.

Part of the action linking the keys of the organ to the palets opening wind to the pipes.
