Tabernacle at Temple Square
Salt Lake City, UTHave you ever heard of the world famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir?
This is THAT tabernacle.
It was designed to be so acoustically sensitive that a pin dropped up there at the pulpit can be heard all the way in the back of the hall. And the pipe organ up front (with its 11,623 pipes) is quite huge... one of the largest in the world. Built in 1867, no less.
I just love being in places like this and learning stuff about who and why, when and how. Just wish I couldn't heard that pipe organ.
Sigh.
