“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
