My 1942 Schantz Pipe Organ, which I've restored, rebuilt, played, owned and loved since 1992 has been sold and is on it's way to Texas. I will greatly miss the beautiful, sweet sound of that organ, and the reliability of it's mechanics. It was a pleasure to play and listen to. Just a couple years ago, Mormon Tabernacle Organist Clay Christiansen played it during a visit to our house. He was impressed, remarking that "it is as versatile as an organ many, many times it's size!"

You'll find music from the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and other style periods, as well as well known composers like Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven. You'll also find lesser known composers among these great sites.
Here are a few ranked according to my preferences. Just click the link:
