Joseph Nielsen tends to speak in analogies when he explains how a pipe organ works. “Think of it as a big box of whistles,” says Nielsen, a voicer at Quimby Pipe Organs who worked closely with Trinity Episcopal Church’s Director of Music and Principal Organist Michael Messina, D.M.A., to revoice the church’s organ in 2020.
