A FEW TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

 

spacerThe stops, arranged on 4 keyboards and one pedal-board, with a console offering innumerable recordable combinations. This allows to perform any musical work, from the early times to contemporary music through J.S. Bach and the Romantics.

spacerThe sound volume of the VSO is such as to be able to blend  perfectly with that of any large symphonic orchestra.

spacerNo acoustic trick is used in this project. The pipes are the only sound source; they are distributed in 14 cases, each one with 1 to 3 stops and placed on mobile skids provided with elevators.

spacerThe size of each case has been calculated to allow them to be shipped in containers.

spacerAll the cases, with  triple-layered  Plexiglas slats, have autonomous air-feeding systems.

spacerThey are linked to the console by one coaxial cable for all the controlling actions. The action system will be that advocated in 1972  in The organ, retrospect, prospect as realized later by Blancafort, for Tenerife/a -->. Thus, the slightest movement of the finger is instantly relayed to the pallet by radio-waves.
