Room Acoustics for Mechanical Music
By Tom Hutchinson

MMD,  I am considering building a new structure of approximately
3000 to 4000 square feet to accommodate my expanding inventory of
mechanical musical instruments.

Has there ever been any information published addressing acoustical
requirements for a building specifically designed for mechanical
music instruments, such as large pipe organs and band organs?  Any
help would be appreciated.

 [ for you about controlling acoustical behavior.  Otherwise just do
 [ whatever you can to soak up and dissipate the sound energy; a band
 [ organ playing indoors can generate a painful energy level!
