Organ Tuning Day at St. Mark's






Today was organ tuning day. Our organ tuner/technician is Dave Klug who is often assisted by his mother Fran. Here is a picture of the organ console from a perspective that most people at St. Mark's will never see it from (and are probably happy to keep it that way!).

Also, there is a picture from the inside of one or the organ chests.

Dave uses a digital tuner. He showed me how it told him one of the pipes was "three cents sharp." I asked how much that was in real money and he told me a cent is roughly 1/100th of a step.
