Provide a welcoming home
My main mission is to help congregations with a tight budget acquire quality used pipe organs that will help lead their music program for many decades to come.
Windchest Releathering
I specialize in ventil and pneumatic windchest releathering. In some cases the pouch boards can be releathered onsite if an appropriate work place can be setup on church property.
Tuning
With 27 years of experience, tuning pipe organs has become second nature to me. Whether it is touch up or full scale, equal temperament or meantone, let me help get it pitch perfect for you.
The future of Sacred Music
The digital world continues to make amazing technological advances and electronic organs have made their presence known more and more over the past several decades. The ability to distinguish between the sound of digital and pipe has become more difficult for the amateur ear. However, there are two clear distinctions: 1.) One is real, the other is not. 2.) A quality pipe organ inspires, which is perhaps the most important of all. Our youth is vital to the future of the church and it is no coincidence that poor music trends juxtaposed with electronic organs, piano, and guitars have diminished the role of traditional sacred music and the pipe organ. However, more and more congregations are finding out that their shift towards contemporary music was not as fruitful as they once thought. In my opinion, the pipe organ will always be the cornerstone for church music programs, especially those that are liturgically oriented. Whether your church has a pipe organ that needs extensive repairs or you wish to upgrade from an electronic to a real organ, please contact me. I would love to help you.
