Specialist
'Voicers' Stephen Leslie
and Kerry Bunn from the USA were engaged
to
complete the meticulous task of Final Tonal Regulation for each
pipe in the organ |

|
|

|
This
process requires two people: one to listen critically from the
organ console,
and another in the organ chamber to change the volume and tonal
characteristics as required |

|
|

|
A
full week of work, from 9am to 6pm each day!
Each of the 742 pipes can now combine to 'form an elegant and
cohesive ensemble' |
