David Coram Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I am having temporary amnesia about the German manufacturer of specialist organbuilding supplies, amongst which is a very clever tuning meter which can listen to any partial of a Mixture meaning you don't have to stop pipes off. It's not Korg!

It's not Korg! You are probably thinking of Marc Vogel www.vogel-scheer.de
headcase Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 The tuner who first taught me, always used cotton wool to 'wad-off' mixture ranks. This always seemed a slow and clumsy method, especially if the pipes are planted really close together. Some years later, I was shown a much simpler method - using small paper cones. Easy to make - just roll a sheet of paper into a small cone, tape it up. A few of these in differing sizes can be left in the job. Easy to drop in and remove without disturbing anything else. Cheaper than a meter ! H

Cheaper than a meter ! H Feathers even cheaper still! The Vogel link was the one I was after - thank you. I kept searching for Vogel Organ Tuning Mixture Temperament and stuff like that, and all I got was some old guy with a beard who's evidently made a record or two.
