Abstract

The organ as an instructional as well as recital instrument poses many acoustical challenges for the design team. Among those are the surfaces near the organist by which he can hear him/herself, overall volume for proper loudness, and the size of the organ relative to the size of the space. The design team must usually plan the space for an instrument that arrives long after opening night. This involves careful planning, experience in organ requirements, and a good relationship and coordination with the organ builder and faculty. Projects cited are The University of South Carolina, The University of North Carolina, The University of Georgia, Cleveland State University, and the University of North Texas.
