Of course, we pay quite a bit of attention to the visual appearance of our work but we also understand looks aren’t everything.  Tonal finishing gives our organs their inner beauty and we put a great deal of emphasis on “pretty is as pretty does” After construction, our pipes are transferred to our tonal finishing department where they are pre-voiced by our tonal director, Jim Twyne.  Jim has been voicing pipes for thirty years and digital voices for ten. The evolution of his work is exceptional.  Jim will work closely with the organ committee to achieve the desired tonal qualities of the organ.  He focuses on a variety in tonal color through carefully choosing scales and voicing each stop to blend with all of its neighbors. His work produces graduated layering of upper pitches to build a well-proportioned chorus as well as a strong foundational tone for a full ensemble that undergirds singing.  This results in a full organ ensemble that rings the room without being oppressive.  The result is a careful balance of scale and polished refinement of tone.  Rather than just throwing a conglomeration of crudely voiced ranks together, our sound is critically structured, balanced and finished to give you a cohesive and majestic tone.  In short, Cornel Zimmer organs have a character of sound that clearly sets us apart from the ordinary.
