Доброго времени суток
расскажите, пожалуйста, как в древние времена накачивали меха в оргАне?
счас понятно, а вот во времена Моцарта, например...

Playing the organ before electricity required at least one person to operate the bellows. When signaled by the organist, a calcant would operate a set of bellows, supplying the organ with air.[24] Because calcants were expensive, organists would usually practice on other instruments such as the clavichord or harpsichord.[25] By the mid nineteenth century bellows were also being operated by steam engines or gasoline engines. Starting in the 1860s bellows were gradually replaced by wind turbines which were later directly connected to electrical motors.[26] This made it possible for organists to practice regularly on the organ. Most organs, both new and historic, have electric blowers, although others can still be operated manually.[27] The wind supplied is stored in one or more regulators to maintain a constant pressure in the windchests until the action allows it to flow into the pipes.[28]
