Notes from Jack Bethards (owner of Schoenstein Organs):

* The Silver Flute is a unique Schoenstein development, large scale open metal, slotted. Somewhat reminiscent of it's wooden counterparts, the Melodia and Concert Flute.

"The end result is three very well balanced divisions of nearly equal power. The bulk of the organ is under expression, adding versatility and nearly limitless subtle combinations of tonal character. Our objective was expressivenes, beauty and dramatic power, without the loss of refinement. "
