message: Does the echo bassoon stop really have papier-mache resonators? It sounds strange, but I don't doubt it is true, but I wondered if it was vandalism.  Perhaps a reference if it is true might be useful. — Mdcollins1984 11:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Bassoon

message: It is my view that this article should not be titled Auditorium Organ. To my mind, that implies a specific type of organ, e.g. Pipe organ/Theatre organ etc, not a specific organ. I propose that you move this to Boardwalk Hall organ, or Atlantic City organ.  Please consider this.
Also, could you stop deleting the references in Pipe organ to the Sydney Town Hall 64' stop? It is a perfectly valid point for that article, and if you can argue why it shouldn't be there, please do so, rather than consistently deleting the reference.
Many thanks Mdcollins1984 14:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The echo bassoon does actually have papier-mache resonators. I know it sounds strange, but it's actually true. See also the official site: http://www.acchos.org/html/introduction/highlights.html
I changed the title to Boardwalk Hall Organ, although I kept the references to Main Auditorium Organ in the article itself, as the Boardwalk Hall contains two organs. 
And about the Contra-Trombone, I just think a reference to a Contra-Trombone is not appropriate in a section about Diaphone pipes. I also downsized the reference to the 64' Diaphone-Dulzian. You could add a reference to the Contra-Trombone in the section "Reed Pipes".

:Thanks for that, the move certainly clears some issues up.  Thank you for your explanation of the Contra-Trombone removals, I'll make that more clear in the Pipe organ article.  I have slightly reworded the lead paragraph, to reference and link the papier-mache resonators (very interesting).

message: The Kimball organ in the ballroom is currently undergoing restoration, a new solid state relay will be installed.
The right stage chamber of the Midmer-Losh is in operational condition, and awaits new magnets and tuning to get it back to playable condition. Work has also started on the Left stage chamber. 
The first part of the Midmer-Losh to be rebuilt will be the swell-choir divisions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.134.56 (talk) 14:54, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Midmer-Losh and the Kimball organ 

message: Judging from the stop list on the official website, this organ is heavily unified: many stops "borrow" from the same ranks.  For example, the Tibia rank (rank 1) in the Pedal Right division has 10 different stops.  Should we add a note about this somewhere in the article? 76.233.115.247 (talk) 05:30, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unification 

message: I am working on a complete rewrite of this article; mainly reorganizing the existing content and adding all the missing references.  I will also add stub articles including Emerson L. Richards and Midmer-Losh Organ Company to go along with the main article.  If anyone else is making similar efforts, please coordinate with me via my talk page.

message: So this thing was able to be successfully built during THE GREAT DEPRESSION, but now it is in disrepair? How could no one have enough interest in it to restore it or to have been more careful? Is it because atlantic city is a shithole? A gimmicky gambling town?

thread_title: Current state

message: Atlantic City Convention Hall Organ Society is used in a lot of the references. That site (www.acchos.org) is now an ecig site. According to the Wayback Machine, the last update as the Atlantic City Convention Hall Organ Society was Feb 7 2012. After that there is a large gap and the next Wayback entry is in March of 2014 and at that time it's the ecig site. I've done some searching but haven't found where the Atlantic City Convention Hall Organ site is currently. I did find Boardwalk Pipes that seems indicates things were done to improve the organ in 2013 and possibly 2014 as well. It doesn't cite where it gets the info from.

thread_title:  More pictures 

message: My deep thanks to whomever person(s) who wrote this article.  My request is that you re-write certain sections which are quite difficult to understand by a non-specialist in thie field.  For example the article says:
:Also, some divisions are playable on two manuals. For example, the Choir-Swell division is usually played from the Choir manual, but it has been duplexed stop key for stop key to the Swell manual, so that all the stops can also be played from there as the Swell-Choir, no matter what stops are drawn on the Choir manual. The same is true for the Great-Solo, which is usually played from the Great manual, but can also be played as the Solo-Great from the Solo manual.[8]
:Although the four Gallery divisions can be played from any manual, their "home" is the Bombard manual. Not only are they the only divisions playable from it, but its keyslip contains the pistons for the Gallery organ.[9]

message: In 2022, real stopped 64' pipes were built by Skrabl for their organ in St. Moritz, (Olomouc, Switzerland): https://skrabl.com/untersatz-64/ These pipes are stopped but neither digital nor resultant, and they produce 64' fundamental, as a bourdon, subbass, or quintaton of that pitch might.
This is a cool triumph for the organ world!!!
Could we modify the article to say one of 3-full compass 64s instead of one of 2 full-compass 64s? 128.187.116.11 (talk) 06:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
