About Grant

Grant has had a passion for the Pipe Organ from an early age.  Born in Sidney, BC, he was a choir boy at St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Victoria.  The sound of the organ fascinated him  and he was determined to understand how it worked.  After high school he was able to obtain a job with Hugo Spilker, the local organ builder.   They serviced instruments with a variety actions and all manner of pipework, some quite historic.  After two years, Grant went to work with organ builder Gabriel Kney in London, Ontario.  The firm built new, mechanical action organs for markets in Canada and throughout the United States.

Returning to Victoria, Grant again worked with Hugo Spilker and gradually bought out his business.  Most of the pipe organs on Vancouver Island have been under his care since 1984. His wife, Bev, works with him and manages the office.

We have designed and built a 1 manual Positiv organ (now in Holy Rosary Catholic Cathedral, Vancouver), two Continuo chest organs, small new 2 manual and pedal church organs and several 2, 3 and 4 manual consoles.  Rebuilds and additions to local instruments have been undertaken as well as restorations of historic tracker organs.
