Some exciting instruments on this page!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


On a trip home in July 2007 I had the opportunity to stop in a place of nostalgia.  When I was 12 my grandmother took me several times a week to view this magnicent instrument being built, and I was inspired by the builders and the instrument.  Subsequently this was my practice instrument through my high school years, and many a note of the repertoire I now know was ground out on this splendid 1990 Howell tracker instrument.

The glorious 2003 Noack instrument in Lakeside Presbyterian Church, Lakeside Park, Kentucky.  On this instrument I gave my third doctoral recital, as well as subbed for various weddings and funerals.  This is certainly one of my favorite instruments of all time, always a rewarding drive!
