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.
