------------F296D6410740 John, What stop did you use to sound the A(440)? It is my understanding that on the Allen organ the only stop tuned dead on A440 is the 8' Principal on the great manual. Others are detuned on purpose to simulate a pipe organ which is always out of tune. This is the stop I use for tuning a violin, flute or other instrument that I am going to accompany on the organ. I understand that there is one screw you turn to tune the entire organ to A440. I've been looking for this screw on pianos for years.
