As a life-long organist, as well as a LUGnut, a little background: Klais is a Swiss builder. It wasn't too long ago - maybe 40-50 years - that Britain's organ world was very insular. There is a long history of distinguished builders who have populated British churches, town halls, and other venues with instruments which have evolved into a distinctive national character, quite different from Continental organs. That's been changing. Now we have European and American builders installing important organs in the U.K., often different in sound from the past home product. The reasons are various - a widespread reform movement, shrinking globe, etc. Well, here endeth the lesson, and surely more than you ever wanted to know. Stan Yoder
