 Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church Dallas, Texas
In terms of sound and appearance, the organ's design was inspired by the choir organs of the great French nineteenth-century organ builder Aristide Cavaille-Coll (1811-1899), whose organs continue to be enjoyed in famous cathedrals and parishes in France and throughout the world.
Unlike electric action organs that have electrical contacts connected to wires that run to the pipe valves, mechanical action organs employ a complex array of thin pieces of wood, called trackers, which connect the keys to the valves.
Besides serving this practical purpose there was a pleasing musical byproduct, as organ builders later capitalized on the fact that the orientation of these pipes allowed their sound to be focused directly into the nave of a church with great intensity.
