Vice President and Shop Manager

In Memoriam 1974-2024

From an early age, David was involved in the organ business. In fact, he seems to have been born with a screwdriver in his hand!

David attended Ball State University, and has developed his mechanical and electronic aptitudes through continuing study and experience. An excellent woodworker, David is the master of the CNC router system and also designed, built, and operates the vacuum lamination system in the shop. These machines allow extremely accurate and efficient production of the components of our instruments.

He has constantly looked for ways to improve the quality of our organs, and to keep costs under control. David's understanding of complex electronic systems gives him the ability to diagnose and troubleshoot the modern solid-state control systems that are part of most new pipe organs.

David is a member of the American Institute of Organbuilders. He has participated in many continuing education opportunities, including factory training by suppliers. He is a gifted voicer, and has been responsible for revoicing several instruments. David is also an experienced organ tuner. During the spring and fall tuning seasons he is often in the field servicing organs for our customers.

Following a two-year battle with cancer, David Reynolds passed from this life on June 11, 2024. Honoring David's request, no funeral was held. On June 15, 2025, we will host a concert featuring Martin Ellis on the organ at First United Methodist Church in Noblesville, Indiana, the last project completed during his lifetime. The concert will not be a memorial service, but will celebrate the spirit and the achievements of this remarkable man with great music on the instrument he loved. The concert will begin at 3 pm, and there will be no charge for admission.
