Installation
of the Month

Dear e-notes readers:

Some of you have told us that you noticed it's been longer than usual since the last e-notes hit your inbox. We apologize for the delay but hope you’ll find the wait was worthwhile.

If you are an anglophile, you’ll love the story in this issue about the recent Allen installation at the Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst, in Surrey, England. And, keeping with an international theme, we’ve also got a story about a young prodigy from Australia and a free recording made by our Paris representative while visiting an Allen installation in Spain.

We hope you enjoy all of these pleasant reminders that here in Macungie, PA, we build organs for the entire world!

Regards,

Barry Holben
Vice President, Sales
Allen Organ Company
