Humidifiers and dehumidifiers edit

"Many churches use humidifiers/dehumidifiers in an attempt to keep the organ loft from drying or becoming too moist. Ironically, this can lead to the organ loft becoming too dry or too moist, and severe damage to the pipes." Huh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.162.207 (talk) 04:53, 3 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Voicing edit

I came here looking for a little info on this aspect of tuning. Can someone who understands the art help out? Doug butler (talk) 22:12, 25 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

"Eliminating the beats brings the pipe into tune." This is incorrect. Any pipe organ tuned to equal temperament will exhibit beating with all intervals except octaves. Only an instrument tuned to some type of Meantone or Well-temperament will have beatless intervals - and then only some. Wokepedian (talk) 01:13, 14 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
