Inside the Disney Hall organ

Variously described as looking like pickup sticks or French fries, Disney Hall’s unorthodox $3-million pipe organ is the centerpiece of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s season-opening concerts this weekend. While the four-tiered organ looked finished when the hall opened a year ago, the unveiling was scheduled for this season because all 6,134 pipes had to be hand-tuned and -voiced to suit the acoustics of the auditorium.
