An organ in Ohio

Apart from the irrelevant cartoon (which just annoys me) at the beginning, this is fascinating.

Very interesting topic and information. Thanks

Seems most of the sound of the organ would be trapped in the hanging fabric of curtains, etc in that middle section ... at least that's where I thought I saw the pipes.

Interesting hall though. I've seen one other at Long Beach (California) Civic auditorium had a setup like that too (sans the organ) ... an arena on one side and traditional concert hall on the other.

With all the draperies in that middle area

yeah - it's a fascinating way to build a theater, that's for sure. Must be a nightmare if the opera and symphony are both playing on the two connected stages simultaneously ... ;-)
