Builders of fine pipe organs for Worship, School, Concert Hall and Residence
Sacred Heart Catholic Church New Philadelphia, Ohio
Now under construction is a new pipe organ for Sacred Heart Church. It will enjoy a lofty location in a splendid acoustic. Many thanks to Fr. Jeff Coning, Music Director Beth Fragasse, Administrator Katy Nicholson, and all our friends at Sacred Heart Church for their support and enthusiasm. The new organ will be completed later this year.
Our new organ for St. Stephen's was installed the week of February 27. The photo shows the organ as it was being installed. Click below for the finished result. Final voicing was done the week of March 12 & 19. The dedication will be on May 6 at 3 PM with Stephen Williams of St. John's Lutheran Church in Allentown, PA in concert.

We will again be exhibiting at the National American Guild of Organists Convention in Nashville, running from July 1 through July 6. Please come see us at booth 420!

St. James Catholic Church Falls Church, Virginia Kegg Organ Restoration
We have just completed the restoration of our instrument built in 1992 for St. James Church. This organ was demonstrated to the members of the American Institute of Organbuilders at their convention in 1993 and received much praise from fellow organbuilders at that time. Since then the organ was altered by others. It was the desire of the Church to reverse these unsuccessful changes. We are pleased to be able to return the organ to its original specification and voicing, along with adding an Oboe 8' stop of new pipes.
This organ is 15 ranks and fills a church seating close to 900 people. While the acoustic is very fine, the unusual proportion of each transept being almost as large as the nave presented particular challenges with the organ placed at the rear of the nave. Its success is due to careful but bold voicing and effective swell shades.
Our thanks to Fr. Patrick L. Posey, and Music Director Daniel Day for their support and interest in this fine instrument.

St. Gabriel The Archangel Church Saddle River, NJ New Sancturary console installed
We have just completed the installation of a second console to our instrument at St. Gabriel Church. This movable console is normally located in the corner of the Sanctuary of the Church and is a duplicate of the main console in the Gallery. It will allow ease of use for services that do not require the choir, better use with Cantors and much better judgement of the organ sound in the room. Because this room is not exceptionally large but enjoys an exceptional acoustic, this second console will be unusually useful. The new console was dedicated in concert on June 3 by Scott Dettra, Organist for the National Cathedral in Washington DC.
We have changed telephone service provider which required that we have new telephone numbers. This change will be permanent. Please note this in your records. Our fax number has also changed. If you need that number, please call us.
