I’ve just returned from an interesting and enjoyable week in the USA, visiting organs by the J.P. Buzard firm, in advance of writing an article for Choir & Organ. I arrived in Chicago just in time to see everyone out in the streets looking up at the eclipse – good timing!

Visited organs in Chicago, Nashville and the company’s home town, Champaign. Wonderful instruments and lovely hospitable hosts.
