Talk:Sydney Opera House Grand Organ

Removed text
''According to the PDF specification provided, the organ has at least two swell boxes, or enclosed divisions. It appears that one of them may be double-enclosed. The swell box has two sets of shades with separate expression shoes - one set opens into the room and the other is on the back of the swell box toward the curved wall - stunning effects are possible with this system.''

This is two posts. The first consists of two sentences and seems to misunderstand the specification (as did I when I first worked on the article, so it was actually a useful contribution of sorts). The reply appears to be original research. Neither is encyclopedic, but both contain information that, if properly sourced and added in the right place, would enhance the article.

World's largest organ?
The first sentence in the article is ambiguous:

The Sydney Opera House Grand Organ is the world's largest mechanical tracker-action pipe organ by Ronald Sharp, located in the concert hall of Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia.

There are (at elast) two possible meanings:
 * 1) This is the world's largest mechanical tracker-action pipe organ. It is built by Ronald Sharp.
 * 2) This is the largest mechanical tracker-action pipe organ that Ronald Sharp has ever built.

I believe that the former is the intent. If that is the case, I propose to break the sentence into two sentences for clarity:

''The Sydney Opera House Grand Organ is the world's largest mechanical tracker-action pipe organ. It is built by Ronald Sharp and located in the concert hall of Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia.''

Before this change is made, I would like to hear comments from the Wiki community. Truthanado (talk) 18:19, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Absolutely agree, except that maybe the second sentence should be


 * It was built by Ronald Sharp and is located in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia. --Machina.sapiens (talk) 04:29, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
