Multi-tone Organ Pipes
By Bill Klinger

The Wurlitzer company made a few sets of 32-foot Diaphone pipes where
each resonator was set up with flap valve doors so they only had six
pipes for the bottom octave -- each pipe could play two notes. There is
an operating set of these Wood Diaphone pipes in the Berkeley Community
Theater organ in Berkeley, California.
