Even on the day (or two, or three) of tuning, by the time the last rank is done, something would be 'out' in the first rank. We were always going into the chamber when a pipe got 'bad enough' to do a one note correction.
I made the comment below 2 years ago, thought it would be worth repeating here:
While attending the Indianapolis ATOS National Convention, the organ crew was fine tuning the Page organ at the Paramount Theatre in Anderson, IN right up unitl just seconds before the doors opened for attendees. After the 1st half of the concert, I made a comment that the organ was so in tune it sounded electronic at times. Others who heard me say that laughed and agreed.
