Anyway, I've seen that stop (in imaginitive calligraphy) on several, but am a neophyte re the intricacies of huge pipe organs; a hint of their complexity can be noted at [link\|http://www.herefordcathedral.org/music_organ_willis.asp\|http://www.herefordc..._organ_willis.asp] Dunno where Wurlitzer fits, beyond theatre organs (another genre) but to many, Hammond:Real Organ::military music:music Cthulhu I despise that horrific tremolo! and All.. the 'voices'.

Post #265,616 by jb4 8/22/06 9:51:19 AM Reply	My dad used to maintain one in Chicago A 3 console Wurlitzer in the old Trianon ballroom off on Ashland (IIRC) of 63rd. He'd occasionally take me down there when eh went on one of his bi-monthly pilgrimages to the Shrine of Pipes. Actaully had me help him tune it 9at the ripe old age of 3...) Every once in a while, he'd bring home some of the old wood pipes for repair. neer forget the contortions he wnet through trying to get the 32' pipe into the basement so he could repair some cracks in it. Jeez, that was a long time ago! And yes, it had a Swell to Great stop. and a Accompaniment to Great as well....) jb4 "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing.
