Talk:Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts

Organ

The Ruffatti organ in San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall beats the Dobson in Verizon by a considerable margin in number of ranks and pipes (147 ranks, 9,235 pipes in Davies, vs 125 ranks and 6,938 pipes for Kimmel). The claim that the Dobson is the largest organ in an American concert hall has been widely reported, which makes everyone assume it is true, but as far as I can tell it is not.

Davies also ranks #71 in the world, and Kimmel only #138, according to this listing: http://www.die-orgelseite.de/index_e.html

Note that the sheer size is no measure of quality or how good it sounds, but if the claim is going to be made (over and over), it really should be correct!
