If you are interested in organs, there is an interesting one in Hereford Cathedral in England. Some of the mechanisms that operate the longer pipes are on display and if an organist is playing, you can see them working. The cathedral's organ is next to the choir stalls. If you have time, scroll down and you will see some of the longer pipes. http://ratbagp.blogspot.com/2017/07/unchain-my-book-at-hereford-cathedral.html Of even greater interest are the chained books held in the cathedral library and the largest medieval map known to exist (Mappa Mundi). ray |

Plus they give "behind the curtain" tours. The sound of this monster is sweet yet powerful -- NICE!! Plus food -- that ranges from buffet type offerings to a fine-dining restaurant. https://longwoodgardens.org/events-perf ... gan-series |

just clear out a corner and place the stereo speakers side by side pointing into the corner sit back and marvel at the sound |

You are probably better off with one speaker instead of two side by side. Having two sets of drivers reproducing the same frequencies side by side could result in some comb filtering frequency anomalies. |

There are only two true 64' organs in the world in Atlantic City and Sydney Town Hall. Longwood is 32'. https://longwoodgardens.org/events-and- ... hear-organ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boardwalk ... rium_Organ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_To ... rand_Organ My wife's best friend is the grand-daughter of George Audsley who designed the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia. Oddly enough, he made little folded stars to hang from a Christmas tree and we were given a couple of them. If we buy a tree at Xmas, we hang them and whenever I go to Philly to hear the orchestra, I try to see and hopefully hear the organ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanamaker_Organ ray |
