Director of Music & Organist writes,

"Our dealing with Allen Organs and particularly with Dale Johnson and Tom Branch has been exemplary in every sense.  They analyzed our situation and designed the perfect interim instrument to serve us until our pipe organ is delivered in 2010. The instrument was delivered ahead of schedule and was installed quickly, carefully and properly.  Mr. Johnson and Mr. Branch came to New York for a week to adjust the voicing and to fine tune EVERY NOTE on the organ. The result is absolutely astounding; the result is impressive.

I can say, without reservation, this instrument is a joy to play and hear and can handle all the demands of organ literature and church service playing.  Above everything else, I must say that Mr. Johnson and Mr. Branch are truly artists with the expertise and patience to voice an organ to perfection.  They made sure that I was completely satisfied with every element of the instrument and went beyond the call of duty to please me and the church.  I have not witnessed this kind of care and artistry with other instrument dealers."
