Re: Texas Pipe Organ Newsarticle

I have played this, and I went to the dedication of it. Im really not impressed with the voicing. It sounds way too "Covered". And, the Tuba is not my all time favorite Tuba, it sounds more like a duck to me.

Do you know of any big (or not so big) new instruments going into Ohio? I've not heard of any lately ...

I am a long-time member of First UMC in Richardson, Texas, and my church moved to a new facility last March (2006); we recently consecrated a new Klais instrument at our church last November. I was frankly disappointed at the dedication concerts but I really like the instrument. Have you heard or played it? I would be interested in your opinion of its Tuba 8' stop--we like it. The organ at $1.3M is not finished--there are provisions for several more stops, an Antiphonal Division at the rear of the balcony (4 stops, including a Fanfare Trumpet 8'), and a mechanical action ("tracker") console to be added in the future.
