Hi OrganNet:
Here's an article that Sam Vause found in his newspaper on
December 7, 1992. Now that we have some subscribers to the
OrganNet who have some influence at Notre Dame, I thought we might
get some additional information about the *computerized* keyboards
there.

"The stone vaults of Notre Dame cathedral rang Sunday to the music
of a full organ for the first time in two years as the church's
newly restored instrument came home, complete with computerized
keyboard.

"About 3,000 people heard the music at morning Mass in the first
of a week of concerts celebrating the organ's return.

"The $2.1 million restoration blended high-tech technology (sic)
with the original 7,800 pewter (?!?!) pipes, installed in the
1860's."

Comments, anyone?
