I am well aware. I have participated in the tuning of a (small) organ, as I am an organist. You can affect the perceived tuning of the instrument by engaging mutation stops / aliquots. Further, speaking from experience, in practice, stops have a tendency to go out of tune at different rates. Most organists know their instrument very well, have have an intuition for what keys will sound best with what stops at any given time on their instrument.


That makes a lot more sense than the way you wrote it first :)

Which organ do you play?


Oh yes. The things you do to avoid that out-of-tune trumpet pipe. :-)
