Ages ago my Rodgers dealer told me that he found opinions spread all over =
the place as to how loudly to voice the 32' Contra Bourdon. I suspect that =
people perceive the level of the bottom octave very differently. Some =
being much more sensitive to it (wanting it softer) and others being =
insensitive and wanting it set louder.=20
The Fletcher-Munson curves, which show the sound pressure level across the =
spectrum at which people perceive approximately equal volume level, are, =
after all, averages.
Anyway, if it's a 32' Contra Bourdon, I vote to voice it just loud enough =
to be detected in a fairly full combination, but leaving it soft enough to =
purr under a soft combination. This makes it very flexible in its use.
