Having had at least four occasions when "Black Beauty" was at the colleges =
and areas where I taught, I can assure you that there was no "adjustable ke=
ydesk" - however, Virgil would not have been caught dead with the music rac=
k in place or for that matter even attached to the console.
I regularly had the back off the console to "voice" the organ - usually the=
reeds - which he always wanted louder - especially the trumpets - to the p=
oint of deafening the audience. I usually set them at his level -- and the=
n turned them down just before the concert - and he never caught on.
Please don't think of this as a criticism of Virgil - it is because of him =
that I am active in the organ industry today. He was and still is my inspi=
ration - if we had more Virgils today - there might be more excitement for =
the orgAN!
Thank God for the Hector Oliveras and Rodney Barbours of the organ world!
