Organs last a long time. The need to commission a new instrument or renovate an old one does not happen very often. However, when work is needed, it can be a major project. Help is available to provide specialist advice. Members of the AIOA are experienced and accredited specialists with wide knowledge of the musical, technical, acoustical, architectural and historical questions which can arise. Your adviser/consultant should be impartial yet should also know the particular skills and experience of organ-builders available to do the work.
Armchair knowlege is not enough! AIOA accreditation is your assurance of an adviser whose skill and expertise has been recognised by others in his profession.
