	Rabalais and Company : Home
		Louis started tuning organs when he was 1o years old and by 11 or 12 was considered an accomplished tuner, and his exceptional ear made him a very picky finisher.
		Obviously an histroic instrument, a memorial instrument, or an organ with mechanical and tonal integrity should be considered, but most frequently budget considerations, or loosing a pipe organ for a subsitute dictate a rebuild.
		The fact is that a rebuilt organ seldom meets everyone's expectations regarding reliability and sound unless the scope of the rebuild goes to the limit where the rebuilt organ is a rebuild in name only.

		The organ was never conceived for concert use but, rather, to serve the monastic community at prayer.

	A. Thompson-Allen Company Restoration: Battell Chapel, Yale University, New Haven, CT

	Trends in North American Organ Building
		It is astonishing to observe the persistence and ingenuity with which organ builders in America, for more than three generations, have attempted to avoid these basic issues either by argument or by the contriving of cunning devices supposed to give equally good results.
		Another thing that is keeping American organ builders from taking the requisite steps to meet the new challenge is a wide-spread, deep-seated though completely erroneous notion that organ building through the centuries has gone through a series of cycles of shifting artistic fashions in which history has repeated itself.
		One of the frequently heard criticisms of mechanical action organs is that, with the console arranged in the conventional attached manner at the bottom of the main case, it is difficult for the organist to hear and judge what he is doing.

		Holtkamp recommended that architect and organ builder work together from the very beginning, since the church itself is a part of the organ, and an organ will sound different in different acoustical spaces.
		Holtkamp was a leading pioneer in the return to classic principles of organ design and placement.
		The group began to dream of the possibility of expanding the organ with additional ranks of pipes to enhance the sound, improve the organ’s capability to accompany a full sanctuary on festival days and special occasions, as well as to perform and accompany a wider range of repertoire.
