8 THE DIAPASON \\\\ IT ~bb DEPENDS 1\\~Clt\\. t\~Clt\\S ON YOU.

A few years ago I used to be asked why on earth Casavant were building mechanical-action organs. We carried on, however, and succeeded so well with them that now I'm being asked (since our trackers are widely acclaimed as some of the world's most beautifully made and musically versatile) how I can bear to go on producing electrically operated organs. Guess that's the price of progress! Well, there are two main reasons. 1 Many people are unable or unwilling to make the alterations in their church or hall which might be necessary for the completely successful installation of a tracker organ. We do not compromise in the construction of these instruments, and so an electric-action organ is often requested. When this is the case, we quite understand you'd rather have ours - with the Casavant design, Casavant pipes, Casavant scaling, voicing and finishing, and many with slider chests and encasement - than be forced to settle for an inferior organ! 2 Our mechanical-action organs are built by a small group of highly­ qualified specialists I have trained in this art. I am reluctant to attempt to increase the size of this team faster than is compatible with maintaining our standards. Every part of our trackers Is custom-made - no form of mass production techniques is possible or thought of. So let's look at that question from another angle. "Who is building more fine tracker organs in America than any other of the world's organ builders?" Weare. Remember our ad a while back: "We're ready when you are"? That message still stands. The day all you fellow tracker-backers play your last electric organ, we'll build our last one. In the meantime, we'll go on refining and perfecting. We're about to install our 50th tracker. It's no mean-tone portative, either - most of our trackers have been organs of 25 to 50 stops, and even the smallest are complete, satisfying instruments. Now there's a 4-manual, 73-stop Cathedral organ on the way. Here's where experience really counts. But why take my word for it? Come play our organs. Find out for yourself what quality applied to the "organ for today" can mean. Bring your French music and your German - English and American. See why I insist that we make all our own pipes, utilize the most sophisticated of today's techniques; discover just what can be achieved by all this expertise allied to artistry in design. And till the day when we can make only mechanical-action organs, let's work together for what we all believe in. We're doing our bit - getting q':1 J;il, with building beautiful organs. ' 'fm,n.
