- “An important new instrument in the organ life of eastern North Carolina was dedicated in the First Presbyterian Church in Greenville… I think this instrument will soon be understood as the most musical instrument in Greenville. Not the biggest nor the loudest, but the most musical…. The excellent action encourages good keyboard technique. The delightful voicing and relatively dry acoustic allow players to clearly hear themselves… The organ avoids the extremes of modern idiomatic building to favor any regional school of organ music, but achieves excellence in its own right.” Richard Parsons, Reviewer
Classical Voice North Carolina, an Online Arts Journal - “Lewtak Pipe Organ Builders have built a splendid European-style organ at St. Joseph’s R. C. Church, Camillus, New York. The casework is elegantly hand-crafted to resemble seventeenth or eighteenth-century prospects, while the well-balanced, powerful choruses allow the performer to play all the literature with authority and conviction. A perfect blend of ancient and modern, the streamlined console provides countless levels of memory, allowing visiting organists the advantage of programming recital after recital without touching the service music for the Mass. The organ is a joy to play and it makes an important contribution to the art of organbuilding in America.” Gail Archer, DMA

Director of the Music Program, Barnard College, Columbia University - “The organ at St. Joseph’s in Camillus, New York, which I had the honour to inaugurate, is the most impressive Opus 1 indeed. The elegant solutions to a quite complex technical set-up, the unconventional yet pleasing architecture, and the overall sure-footed voicing bears witness to a new organ-building firm which will certainly go very far in the future.” Ulrik Spang-Hanssen

Aarhus, Denmark - “Lewtak Pipe Organ Builders were willing to work with our church to meet the specific needs of our congregation. The new organ was completed with the utmost attention to detail and the highest level of craftsmanship. The instrument is of the highest caliber as are those people that worked on it.” Abel J. Searor
West Baptist Church, Oswego, NY - “I had a pleasure to play the organs in Camillus, NY and Oswego, NY built by the Lewtak Pipe Organ Builders. In both instruments the superb voicing gives each stop its unique character, while every detail of construction is carefully considered and executed. These instruments show total dedication and the first-class quality of work performed by this organ building firm.” Giorgio Parolini
