[edit] Bassoon

Hi,

Does the echo bassoon stop really have papier-mache resonators? It sounds strange, but I don't doubt it is true, but I wondered if it was vandalism.

Perhaps a reference if it is true might be useful.

[edit] Article Title

It is my view that this article should not be titled Auditorium Organ. To my mind, that implies a specific type of organ, e.g. Pipe organ/Theatre organ etc, not a specific organ. I propose that you move this to Boardwalk Hall organ, or Atlantic City organ. Please consider this.

Also, could you stop deleting the references in Pipe organ to the Sydney Town Hall 64' stop? It is a perfectly valid point for that article, and if you can argue why it shouldn't be there, please do so, rather than consistently deleting the reference.

Many thanks Mdcollins1984 14:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

The echo bassoon does actually have papier-mache resonators. I know it sounds strange, but it's actually true. See also the official site: http://www.acchos.org/html/introduction/highlights.html

I changed the title to Boardwalk Hall Organ, although I kept the references to Main Auditorium Organ in the article itself, as the Boardwalk Hall contains two organs.

And about the Contra-Trombone, I just think a reference to a Contra-Trombone is not appropriate in a section about Diaphone pipes. I also downsized the reference to the 64' Diaphone-Dulzian. You could add a reference to the Contra-Trombone in the section "Reed Pipes".

Thanks for that, the move certainly clears some issues up. Thank you for your explanation of the Contra-Trombone removals, I'll make that more clear in the Pipe organ article. I have slightly reworded the lead paragraph, to reference and link the papier-mache resonators (very interesting).

[edit] ATOS

The right stage chamber of the organ is to be working by july this year, hopefully it will be played for the American Theatre Organ Society`s anual convention. Also the 5 manual console is to be restored and updated to alow full interface with the organ. the upper chambers are accessable, the asbestos was removed in the halls restoration(the one that rendered the organ unplayable. It is also hoped that the restoration of the 4 manual Kimbal in the ballroom will start this year.
