A. David Moore, Inc.
Tracker Organ Designers and Builders
David Moore began building organs in his own company in 1973, after learning the organ building art in the workshop of Charles Fisk in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Since that time he and his co-workers have built twenty-five new organs and restored more than ten older instruments. His instruments always use mechanical key action and are notable for their finely-crafted casework. From the beginning all pipework has been built in the North Pomfret, Vermont, shop. A higher than usual proportion of pipes are made of wood, and throughout the organs emphasis is placed on use of traditional woods and metals, eschewing the use of plastics and aluminum, which do not have proven durability. The artistic lineage of his organs stems from his deep understanding of nineteenth-century New England organs, as well as from the influence of his teacher, Charles Fisk.
David Moore's co-workers in this project were Thomas Bowen, who was deeply involved in all stages of the work, Donald Carbino, David Laro, Brendan Moore and Thad Stamps. Maria Zengion assisted with the final tonal finishing.
