Dear Allen Owners and Enthusiasts:
We asked, readers responded! Over the last few months, we've invited owners of vintage Allen organs to share their ownership stories with us. The accounts we've received have been amazing! Each month we'll share one of these "longevity" stories. If you've got one of your own, be sure to let us know! Regards, Barry Holben Vice President, Sales Allen Organ Company |

Classic Console Installation of the Month
St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church Markham, Ontario, Canada In September 2009, the pastor and various committees at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Markham, Ontario decided that the organ used in celebrating God's presence was not adequate in its limited capabilities and sporadic service. They decided upon an Allen organ and in April 2010, a beautiful Heritage™ Edition H-II45D was installed. It is a 45 stop, two-manual digital performance instrument with 20 audio channels.
