“A direct mechanical link between
the performer and the valve [pallet] that allows wind to the pipes gives the
performer the ability to control the attack and release of the pipes. This
can bring very subtle and expressive capabilities to the music that cannot be
achieved with an electric or electro-pneumatic action, which always lets the
air to the pipes in the same way, no matter how the key is depressed or
released. Also the mechanical system is much simpler, straightforward and
longer lived with fewer maintenance hassles.”
—Steve Dieck, C.B. Fisk Company
