THE WINCHESTER CHAPTER
AMERICAN GUILD OF ORGANISTS

DON”T MISS this valuable program on May 3 at 2 pm at Bethel Lutheran Church, 2077 N. Frederick Pike.

 
Marks is looking forward to a dialogue about organ emergencies and last- minutes fixes for common organ problems.  Bring your questions and concerns! 
 
Mark will be stationed inside the organ with a camcorder giving a first hand look of where issues can pop up.  He has been on the bench ready to play a service when these problems occur.  And now, as the owner of Markus Organs, he tunes the organs, fixes major problems, and is going to share his insights with us on what to look for.
 
If anyone is interested in a comparison of the digital vs. pipe organ, he will be happy to discuss that as well.  He has some surprising observations about which might be a better choice for either a church organ or personal home organ.
 
Please come and join us and bring a friend!
