Expo in Korea

The "Vox Maris" was intended to be not only the loudest pipe organ, but also the largest sound sculpture in the world at its installation at the Korean World Expo. The pipes entwine themselves around the twin sky towers at a dizzying height of 72 Meters forming the "Sound Wave", the highest sound sculpture of its type. And so Hey Organ Builders succeeded with "Vox Maris" in creating one of the top four attractions at the Expo in Yeosu 2012. As it is one of the very few outdoor Pipe organs in the world, it stands out head and shoulders above the competition with reliable, constant pitch, and as a completely new innovation has a velocity sensitive manual. Finally it is possible for an organist to play dynamically!
