Bridges Hall of Music
Bridges Hall of Music, completed in 1915
... that the pipe organ of the Bridges Hall of Music at Pomona College (pictured) consists of 3,519 pipes and weighs 20 short tons (40,000 lb)?Source: [1] "The organ was replaced [in 2001] too, with the new one boasting 3,519 pipes and a weight of 20 tons."
- Reviewed: I'm under 5 nominations for now, but I left a comment at Yangnyeom chicken
- Comment: I'm not sure what the best unit is for presenting the weight of the organ. I know "ton" can have different meanings in different regions, so I tried using {{Convert}}, but it came out a little clunky.

New enough and long enough. No QPQ was required. Hook is interesting and mentioned in source, which is properly cited in the right spot. No textual problems. Image is freely licensed (apparently the college uploaded it years ago?). I have added an explicit use of the kilogram measurement to the article as well, and I support it with the unit change proposed by Pi to improve accessibility. Support with the following text: Raymie (t • c) 03:45, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

- I've added a crop, for the promoter's consideration. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 20:11, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- @The Squirrel Conspiracy: FYI, you promoted this to the same set as the Cyrus G. Baldwin hook. If having two Pomona hooks at the same time is non-preferable, it might be better to save this one for a different date. The crop you made looks good for small scale; thanks for creating that. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 07:04, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Sdkb: Good catch, swapped. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 07:09, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
