Gordon S. Auchincloss

With copious experience as an independent technician, builder and staffer for a major national pipe organ builder (a substantial portion of which included a turn as Factory Superintendent and Assistant Vice-President), Gordon Auchincloss’ experience crosses a broad range of disciplines. He is equally at home in millwork, cabinet shop, chest building, pipesetting, console assembly, wiring and design work.

To characterize Gordon’s knowledge of organ-specific (and non-organ specific) industrial suppliers as encyclopedic would be an understatement. More than once he has been asked to “tell [me] the name of that thing we used that time” only to respond with a cross-referenced list with all requisite contact information.

His contributions to our projects have been substantial, including wiring and assembly work on our new consoles for St. Ann’s Church, the United Methodist Church of Westport and Weston and most recently, Fair Street Church.

He has also contributed in the design phase, consulting on development of consoles, casework and our own powered adjustable organ bench.
