Voicers at Casavant Frères are not
only trained musicians but their apprenticeship is also the longest
and most exacting of all the artisans in the workshop. Beginning
by giving each pipe its first voice, they follow them through the
tonal regulation process when the instrument comes together in the
assembly room, finally traveling to complete the tonal finishing
of the organ on site. This three-phase process, extending over a
period of months, provides the voicer with intimate knowledge and
understanding of each instrument and culminates in a truly musical
instrument. |
