Parkey Organ Builders :: Distinguished Pipe Organs

In 1996 and 1997 our firm provided assistance to the Lawless-Johnson Organ Company of Green Castle, Pennsylvania. Mr. Irving G. Lawless installed the Ælian-Skinner in 1973 and has been the curator for the life of the instrument.
In 1996 the instrument was removed for a major visual and acoustical renovation the performance hall for the National Symphony Orchestra. The organ was reinstalled 1997 with some physical changes for better tonal egress.
Mr. Lawless has been an active builder in the Washington DC area for nearly 35 years. Much of his association has revolved around the firms of Æolian-Skinner and M.P. Mölller. Mr. Lawless still serves our company from time to time with consultation and tonal finishing.
