I am enjoying very much the Mr. Carmel Skinner wet set but solicit here some advice. I find that on both the great and swell division the diapason's are extremely loud and quite muddy sounding. I can reduce their overall volume through the voicing controls which seems to help, but if they are played on their own which I assume would be a diapason chorus, its not a satisfying sound -- rather muddy and dull. Since I am not a trained organist perhaps the problem is my lack of understanding exactly how to use these stops. Should they always be used with swell or choir stops coupled? Overall I guess I would say that I find them to be muddy and stand out rather glaringly in comparison to the rest of the set. Any advice on the proper use of these stops would be most appreciated. I have the same problem with the Harmonic Flute sounding dull as well. Thanks for any insight you might be able to give as to how to employ the use of these stops or any experience you might have had with voicing these stops if you use the Skinner wet. Thanks in advance.
PS --- I have heard for a long time heard that there would be a new upgraded Skinner coming out but it seems this may have been put on the back burner since gentle pokes have not elicited a response from MDA as to any expected upgrade.
