Founded in 1873 by A.J. Tschantz, the Schantz Organ Company is America's oldest and largest pipe organ builder still managed by the founder's descendants. Initially crafting modest instruments locally, the company's reputation grew under successive generations. By the mid-20th century, it was recognized nationally for its work. Today, managed by the fourth and fifth generations of the Schantz family, the company undertakes a wide range of projects from restoring historic organs to building new ones for diverse venues worldwide. Their workshops are housed under one roof where every component is crafted and tested, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.
