Remembering Clemens Kalischer
In memory of Clemens Kalischer, EOM has remounted with updated captions the Summer 2007 exhibit of photographs of organ pipe-making at the Estey factory. The photos, taken by Mr. Kalischer in the late 1950s, give viewers a rare look at some of the methods and tools used in the production of pipe organs.
