   I'm not an organist myself, but I would note the main organ in the
Montreal cathedral as (at least) an instrument suitable for its huge
environment---4 ranks plus pedal, which has 3 32' stops. The beast is
over the Nave entrance, though, which mucks up the sound a bit (unless
you're up there with it).
   As befits te lat home of E. Power Biggs, Boston has a lot of
good organs, although some of them are in strange locations. A
traditional favorite is in the Busch-Reisinger (Germanic) Museum
at Harvard; unfortunately I've never heard it in concert. Old
South (Congregaional) Church has a fairly new Flentrop with the
trumpets en chamade; almost as much fun as singing with a full
orchestra.
