new member from Virginia

[rmaryman]

Greetings everyone.
I am Rick M. Myself and the family live in the Shenandoah valley of Virginia, Staunton, to be more exact.

I am an organbuilder, and have my own business doing Tuning and maintenance, building and rebuilding pipe organs, and I also rebuild parlor (pump) organs. I work on pipe organs throughout the mid-atlantic region.

I also play the organ and direct the choir at a local United Methodist church.

I belong to the American Guild of Organists and the AMerican Institute of Organbuilders, and have been a member on and off of other organizations related to church music and pip-e organs such as the Organ Historical Society, American theatre Organ Society and the Presbyterian Association of MUsicians.

Hopefully I can contribute her and I look forward to reading what others have to say about the KING of instruments.

Welcome to the forum, Rick

It will be nice to have the expertise of an organ builder within this forum site.

Thanks for helping identify the organ pipes of another member already, too. Way cool

We hope that you will enjoy being here.

Welcome aboard Rick,

Here's another mad organist (me) who has experienced fabulous and downright faulty instruments for 35+ years.

Cheers,
