When our church received a replacement for our organ from another church in Nebraska, Mark's name was immediately given as "the guy" for this job. Indeed he was "the guy!" Mark helped dismantle and transport the organ to Minnesota, and reinstalled it in its new home at our church, wire by wire, pipe by pipe. Averaging 11-12 hours a day for two weeks to get this project finished, Mark worked patiently and diligently to give us a working instrument to be proud of. We would highly recommend Mark for all things organ! He is truly a gifted musician, tuner, and technician...thanks, Mark!

Dear Mark,
Am I pleased with the organ? I can't tell you how pleased I am and how grateful I am to you for this incredible gift of time and talent and energy to the Parish of All Saints. As I've said, I never thought it would happen. And, it has!

Mr. Pichowicz is a skilled craftsman and an honest businessman. While finding the first seems far from commonplace these days, being blessed enough to work with someone who demonstrates both is a rarity. Mark's care for his work and his clients are an indication of his strong personal and professional integrity. In a former capacity as Director of Sacred Music for an orthodox and "high liturgical" Catholic parish, I had the benefit of working closely with Mark on the refurbishment of an early 20th century Kilgen organ. The demands of our ornate and musically complex liturgies week-in and week-out required an organ that could rise to the occasion, however, an extremely tight budget soberly limited our options. Mark was truly a God-send. Not only did he bring our tired, broken instrument "back to life", he continued to be a resource upon whom we could constantly call to maintain the organ and ensure liturgical functions continued without interruption. True, this may not have been the supreme ideal, but given the organ's versatility and the quality of Mr. Pichowicz's work (especially for the incredibly reasonable price!), we clearly attained the best outcome for which we could hope. I am sure we are not the only church that might benefit from such an investment. His company is well worth the consideration of the budget-conscience church community that desires a solid and qualitative organ in their worship space.
