That's awesome.



Know your history.

It's allowed the current generation of American builders to create "old" sounding organs by doing things like sand casting, which cools the metal much faster and results in a tighter grain structure that makes for both a stronger pipe and a more harmonically complex sound as the metal resonates differently.
I know Eric Dollard, for one, claims the true art of organ building is lost to time. Maybe you can be the first to try cryogenic tempering to tighten grain structure.
