ANd building that monster organ in a chamber music hall is probably not very wise either. Since an Organ can't have any meaningful sound without an appropriate room I do not know what the deciders were thinking there. Think Cello strings on a Violin body.

Why not build 2-3 organs instead, distributed over halls and churches in the area, each with a unique character?

Like one Bach/Silbermann inspired organ and one Cavalier-Colle/French inspired organ.
Possibly a third German romantic inspired organ.
