Historyover thirty years experience of restoring fine musical instrumentsSpecialtiesI began tuning other peoples' pianos at the age of thirteen, tuning a church full of pianos for free because my church could not afford to have it done. I attended Baylor University to receive a Bachelor of Music degree in music history and literature. I feel that all organs and pianos have their own personality. Each of the styles of organ building have one or more styles of music that they play best. All styles of organ are necessary to be able to play the past several hundred years of organ literature. Only rarely would I discard the weakest link. Instead, I try to build it up and improve it. In the rarest of cases, the way the builder engineered something, it just cannot work right. Only then does it get re-engineered or replaced.
