About this user

I have been involved with music since I was 7 years old when I learned the piano. I started playing the tuba at the age of 9. I have been interested in the music and mechanics of the pipe organ since about the age of 10. My father and I build a pipe organ in our home in the 1960's. My ventures now have merged into a hybrid of digital instruments and a 5 rank pipe organ. I hope you enjoy the uploaded videos. I plan to add more videos regularly. Please visit my channel often for updates.

UPDATE: I added a 8' Trumpette reed stop. Now the pipe organ has 6 ranks of pipes.
