Dear JAV Patrons,
We all have "that pipe organ" that had a profound effect on our lives. What if that pipe organ were not there? I cannot imagine it.
Did you know:
- It is estimated that there were once about 900 pipe organs in Brooklyn alone!
- Today only about 70 of those organs, in various states of repair, are still in use.
- In this city of 2.5 million, there are only three which are excellent recital instruments!
Over the past several years I have personally taken responsibility for the restoration and reinstallation of the pipe organ at Our Lady of Refuge in Brooklyn, my home parish. You might know that JAV Recordings is not my full time job - but something I do as a labor of love to promote the pipe organ. Even better than promoting the organ with recordings is to fully restore a real pipe organ so students can practice on it, it can be used in recitals and be heard by over 1,000 people a week.
This is what I am doing - with the help of my customers. |
