I don't see where the "74" comes from, either. It looks to me as if the stop count on the A-S at Trinity would be 115 stops. Note that there's a lot more to building a *good* organ than throwing in a large array of pipework. Does the complete ensemble work together? Does each stop contribute some real character? If one stop sounds too much like another, it's added expense without a lot of benefit. If it clashes tonally with other stops, that limits its usefulness.
Aside: The bipolar pattern of the DT speakers raises my eyebrows a bit, since the rear projection is 180 degrees out of phase from the front. I can't think of a pipe configuration that would have that characteristic.
Drat! I wanted to post the stoplist here to avoid/.'ing Osiris, but then my characters per line goes too low to post...
