From Daily Eblast Good morning RVA 4/18/2022

You’re going to want to watch this fascinating video from Paul Roberts at VPM about how two Canadians tuned and voiced the organ in the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. How cool is this! “For this instrument, that means Robin and Alex will voice 25 stops (groups of pipes simulating other instruments), about 1,400 pipes total. It’s a long, detailed process that takes five to six weeks. Voicing focuses on a few main elements: timbre (or tone), pitch, volume, and attack, which is how a pipe initially reacts when a key is pressed on the console. This is also known as how the pipe ‘speaks.’
