The organ in the Passau Cathedral has long been famous for being one of the largest in the world. I believe it is currently still the largest church instrument in Europe. This card features the console.The five manuals are only slightly less intimidating than the setter buttons for the combination action. The post card is not that old; if I read the postmark correctly, it's from 1958. The organ currently has 5 manuals, and 233 ranks, and nearly 18,000 pipes.
