Atlantic City Convention Hall Organ Society
DEDICATED TO PRESERVING TWO PRICELESS MUSICAL TREASURES
Grand Ophicleide
The loudest stop on Boardwalk Hall's Midmer-Losh organ is the Grand Ophicleide. According to The Guinness Book of World Records, it's the loudest organ stop in the world and its "ear-splitting volume" is "six times louder than the loudest locomotive whistle"! Fortunately, that volume is refined somewhat by the vast auditorium. Nevertheless, it's certainly an attention-grabber of a stop that puts its message across.
Likewise, ACCHOS puts its message across through the Grand Ophicleide Journal – a full-color, quarterly publication that's sent to the Society's members. It's packed with news, views, photos, and information.
Many past issues, in pdf format, are viewable on-line via the links below (Adobe Acrobat reader required – click here to download). If you'd like a hard copy of future issues and want to be among the first to know what's on the horizon for the organs at Boardwalk Hall, please join us using the Membership page.
