[EN] The organ of St. Michael's Church (built by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri Sweden 2002, 52 ranks) has the longest metal organ pipe in Finland, with a length of 9.6 meters. They were built in 2002 to replace the previous organ. There are 3633 pipes in the organ. The special feature of this organ is Glockenspiel (39 bronze bells) and equipment that mimics the sound of a nightingale.

This longest organ pipe is located behind the organ and is not easily visible. Due to its length, the long organ pipe is pleated in several parts. During worship services or concerts, when there is access to the church's galleries, you can see organ much better from there. Otherwise, you will not be able to get close to them.

[FIN] Mikaelinkirkon uruissa (rakentaja ruotsalainen Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri 2002, 52 äänikertaa) on Suomen pisin metallinen urkupilli, jonka pituus on 9,6 metriä. Ne rakennettiin 2002 edellisten urkujen tilalle. Uruissa on 3633 pilliä. Näissä uruissa on erikoisuutena kellopeli (39 pronssikelloa) sekä satakielen ääntä matkiva laitteisto.

Tämä kaikkein pisin urkupilli on sijoitettu laitteiston taakse ja se ei ole helposti näkyvillä. Pituuden vuoksi pitkä urkupilli on laskostettu useampaan osaan. Jumalanpalvelusten tai konserttien aikana, kunkirkon lehtereille on pääsy, voi urkuja ihailla sieltä lähempää. Muuten niiden läheisyyteen ei pääse.

Uruilla on myös omat nettisivut: (visit link)
