Abstract

In the second part of this multi-part paper, the solution for the cap of the organ chamber at Verizon Hall will be presented. The original cap was a lightweight material, allowing significant low frequency energy—critical to the success of any pipe organ—to escape the acoustic volume of the room. The solutions implemented to improve the sound of the organ were limited by structural capacities, and were ultimately developed as lightweight but very stiff honeycomb core panels. The strategy of lightweight-yet-stiff materials has been implemented in numerous other projects to achieve low frequency reflectivity. Examples will be presented illustrating development of this strategy over the past decade.
