Hi OrganNet:
With respect to Jared Faulkner's difficulty keeping the pipes in tune:

My experience is that the organ should *always* be kept at the tuning
temperature. I'm sure that this is less of a problem in most of California
than it is in Maine. And exposed pipework (especially on different
elevations in the building) will be almost impossible to keep in tune
at all times.
 
When I had the chamber heaters going here in San Jose, I never had a
tuning problem.
