I was delighted to see that pipe-organ builders still exist, and would imagine your people are quiet busy too (on the maintenace side) fixing some very unloved and decrepit old organs. But great to see a new organ install too. You guys are the last link between the world, and the world of organ music done correctly. May your prosper long, keeping this beautiful art-form alive.
