Organ Facade
The organ facade must be asthetically pleasing and be functional. It
cannot in any way impede or compromise the sound of the pipes, it
must blend in with the overall architecture of the building it sits in,
and compliment the pipes themselves.
The facade of the organ is something which is
normally
constructed by the organ builder. And while the primary function of the
organ builder is, well, to build organs, generally they also do a fine
job developing some very impressive organ facades as well. However, the
facade of the St. Andrew Austin is somewhat unique in that it was built
not by
Austin or a subcontractor, but by a parishoner of St. Andrew. Click on
