[CAUT] Flooring for concert hall

[Richard Murphy]

Hi Jim,
    Try Scott R. Riedel & Associates, Ltd. At www.riedelassociates.com.  He
is an organist in the
Milwaukee area and has done organ and acoustics consulting for decades.  I
know of him when I worked with Martin Ott Pipe Organ Company.  He was the
consultant on several organs.
Richard
