I spent two wonderful days in Orville, Ohio with the people at Schantz Organ Builders. Orville is a lovely town in mid-Ohio. Even though I lived several years in Ohio, I had no idea this charming town existed with the Schantz Company and the Smuckers brands.
Vic Schantz was an awesome host answering a myriad of questions, sharing the inner workings of the facility, sharing his vast organ library, and introducing me to Jeff Dexter to teach about acoustics and other physical factors for pipe organs in churches. What a great education in two days. It would be fascinating to shadow him at a series of church visits for a potential client. Having been a member of many churches, I can imagine the process he needs to lead them through just to understand the profound addition a pipe organ is to worship.
