Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a pipe organ? Casting pipe
metal, building wind chests, voicing pipes, installing trackers, rollers,
squares, couplers, sliders and pallets?
Well, you may have a chance to see it all in Montreal.
We are in the process of arranging a tour of Casavant Freres, the largest
builder in North America as well as Orgues Letourneau Ltd another famous
builder in the area.
http://www.casavant.ca/
http://www.letourneauorgans.com/organs/opus64.html (for example)
Both builders are located about 45 mins drive from downtown Montreal.
We don't have a date and time yet, and I have promised our hosts that we
will limit the number of people on the tour, so if you are interested
drop me an e-mail and I will add you to the list and send you further
information later. It will likely be a half- or full-day adventure.
Stay tuned, preferably in quarter-comma meantone :-)
