Tonal Finishing      Organ Case Designs      Small Pipe Organs

 

 

Voicing is the process by which organ pipes are made to sound a musical note. Tonal finishing involves the final regulating of the sounds of the pipes after the organ is installed. The process requires two people: one to listen critically from the console for pipes that need to be adjusted and another working inside the organ to change the volume, speech or tonal characteristics of the pipes as needed. The latter person could be called the "finish voicer."   That is what I do.
