Tonal finishing began this week as Bill Hamner and Mark Scholtz worked through the flue work of the Great. One of this week's goals was to fully realize the envisioned relationship between the 1st and the 2nd Diapason. Their relative positioning in the chamber, as well as the fact that the 1st diapason (of larger scale than the 2nd) is one of the vintage ranks (c. 1960) we had refurbished, meant the pipes needed some tweaking now that they can be heard in the acoustics they now call home. Below, Mark (in red) and Bill work on pipes mounted on a voicing machine, basically a small organ arranged so the voicer can conveniently work on the pipes.
