Pity, really, as the organist was first-rate 8) 8) 8)  playing on a first-rate instrument 8) 8) 8) in a most marvelous adjustable-acoustic hall, set up without dampening, for the longest "reverb" possible! 8) 8) 8)

An experience I will not soon forget.

Light refreshment was available in the lobby afterward, giving an opportunity to chat briefly with
the organist, and the organ tuner!  Even met the recital series patron,  Richard D. Moe...

The organ tuner from  the Fritts Organ co. (name escapes me :-[  did attend the concert and I had an opportunity to talk with him briefly after the concert about the instrument, in particular the Kellner temperament and any limitations on the repetoire it imposes.  With the exception of some music by C`esar Franck,  he claims "you can play most anything" on it...

He also mentioned he tuned ALL the reeds  the day before the concert 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
