Re: Mother Church of Christ Scientist, Boston.I have studied the stoplist of this organ at length, and there is no 64' stop,
though there are five 32' stops.I think tour-guides get easily confused about organs. Just today I was in
Charleston's Huguenot church and heard a guide describe the 1845 Henry Erben
organ's builder as being from Germany; he was a New Yorker!While the Mother CS organ is vast, there are larger church organs in the USA:
West Point Chapel and Crystal Cathedral. And there are secular organs even
larger: Atlantic City Convention Hall and Wanamaker's in Philadelphia. Only
Atlantic City has an actual 64' stop.BTW, just this past Saturday I played the Fisk organ at Myerson Hall in Dallas
again. It has three full-length 32' stops, but no 64'.-Timothy Tikker
