Acoustic innovations

|
When it comes to acoustic sound generation, everything – or almost everything – may well have been invented. Nevertheless, there is still plenty of room in contemporary organ building for the creation of exceptional sounds. But here, too, we only turn those into practice that conform with our own idea of quality.
For example, the integration of a «Flauto mirabilis» stop with its circular mouth (360°) into a sound concept calls for a huge amount of development work. Its specific form no doubt cuts a fine figure on a Mississippi steamer. But how should it be constructed, where and on which windchest system should it be placed in order to make a contribution in keeping with the musical style of a church or concert hall organ?
