[rodgersorgan] When the pipe tuners come to call...

As we move from analog organs to digital organs with pipes, some things have 
changed. Analog would be tuned as perfectly as possible and the pipes tuned to 
them.  With the PDI and Trillium Organs it is a different ballgame. The wonder 
of these organs is that subtle tuning fluctuations and adjustments are in the 
organ things that are part of
the diversity of the sound of a pipe organ.

This eliminated for many the use of the tuning knob to match the tuning of the 
pipes.

But it also raises an issue when the pipe tuners come to town.  If they are not 
familiar and sympathetic to the advancements in digital organ design, 
especially the many enhancements present in Rodgers' proprietary software, you 
may get a call.

"That new organ's out of tune.  How do you expect us to tune the pipes to it if 
it's not in tune."  To answer them, just tell them to tune the pipes to a=440 
and all will be fine.
