No cheating; no Google.

When you know, you'll understand why the job title makes perfect sense.

You all have about half an hour, max. Go to it.

4. I would guess that this job involves
the adjustment and tuning of flue pipes in pipe organs (I know because I teach a course on the science of music, and the book I use has way more info than you would ever need to know about pipe organs!)

5. God damn it, you people are WAY too smart!
I thought this would go on for much longer...A Flue Voicer does indeed tune the pitch (voice) of the pipes (flues) of a pipe organ.

Christ, I'm going to have to come up with a tougher one next time.

7. Well, voicing is something you do to pipe organs, so
I would guess that it has something to do with making sure that the flue pipes (if there are such things) have the proper level and quality of sound for the space they're in.
