| Comments: | Hallo Piet,
Een hartelijke groet uit Venlo waar ik u eind mei samen met Marsha heb gesproken. Ik kijk met veel voldoening terug op deze ontmoeting en was onmiddellijk voornemens u te mailen, welnu een emailbericht is al geruime tijd 'in de maak' en vooruitlopend daar op kan nu al reeds aangeven dat ik veel luistergenoegen heb ontleend aan de prachtige CD's. Niet alleen door de zeer fraaie instrumenten maar ook van het voortreffelijke spel van de uitvoerenden De CD van Marsha (Wooddale Church) klinkt kerngezond; prachtig programma en van grote kwaliteit. De orgelsound bevalt mij. Het zou voor mij een uitstekend instrument zijn. Ik laat nog van mij horen. Hartelijke groeten aan Marsha. Theo Hes, St. Martinuskerk Venlo, Netherlands |

After nearly 15 years of the wonderful instrument you built us, we still marvel at your art and skill and love the sounds (and the sight) of our pipe organ. Known as the best in town, we have had a number of new members join us, saying that the organ and our music program was a major factor in their decisions to be members. Thank you!

It has served our music ministry very well, and remains solid and reliable. Artistically, it has spurred the growth of all of our music programs by fostering congregational singing, participation in our various choirs, and renewed enthusiasm for the wonderful and rich musical tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.

| Comments: | Browsing through your website, because our church, First Presbyterian in Pampa, TX, is starting to make very small noises about replacing our 20+year-old Allen organ. Some time before that, the church had a pipe (but that was before our time here, so I don't have a clue what kind it was). I was especially interested in the organ of Westminster Presbyterian in Peoria, IL. It looks to be about the size and voicing that should work in our sanctuary. But it'll be quite awhile before we'd be able to do something here. Loralee Cooley (P.S. My husband, Ed, is pastor at Pampa First Presbyterian.

| Comments: | Hello Pieter, just looking about the web and found your spot ! Congratulations for a superb presentation. Hope it brings you lots of work and supportive comments from old friends and associates. The audio is good and certainly gives a legitimate representation of your art. Actually considering the audio delivery "mechanism" I would rate it as excellent. I believe it would do fair justice to one of our 32'/ 16' electronically driven horn resonators if and when you ever incorporate same in one of your organs!However, Not so, with one of our 32' open (pure sine wave) resonators. Any notes CCCCC through FFFFF will blow out a candle at eight feet distance (thats with only 100 watts RMS power input) Keep up the good work, its been a great challenge for all of us. Many happy memories of visiting your shop at the Houston AIO convention 1976?
Small digression, my kids have given me a framed print by Don Collony "THRUST OVER WEIGHT" and personally signed by JAN ZURASKOWSKI, of a Canadian Avro Arrow in vertical climb.(this was the project in which I was involved, when it was canned back in the late 50's, which eventually led me to the organ.) Sincererly, Andrew Neil Shaw. |

| Comments: | Sir:
I had corresponded with you earlier this year in reference to a home instrument. In that process, you graciously forwarded a CD consisting of pieces played on various instruments you had built. While "re"listening to this CD recently, I was reminded of how lovely some of the choral singing is, never mind your instruments. The particular anthem I seek the name for is track #14 of my CD. The disc itself had no index; it simply says "Various instruments of 20 to 75 ranks", and is dated March or April of this year. If you could tell me the name of this anthem, I would be in your debt. I can distinguish that the opening phrases are: "How do you capture the wind on the water (or mountain?); How do you count all the stars in the sky; How do you measure the love of the Father...etc, much of which I cannot distinctly hear. With Christmas approaching fast, I have hope that our choir could do this anthem. Thanks much, Steve Isbell |

| Comments: | Your website is WONDERFUL!!!
Wish I could hear the sound. I have seen and heard your beautiful instrument at UT. It is truly magnificent. I am planning to visit your factory very soon. Our parish (St. Ignatius Loyola in Spring, Texas) is planning to build a new 2000 seat church. I am working on costs/comparisons for a new organ since our present organ will be moved to the chapel. I would love to hear from anyone who would like to share information and comments about organs. |

| Comments: | Beste Pieter,
Wat een geweldige site hebben jullie. Dit alles ziende smaakt naar meer. Als ik zou weten hoe ik een en ander in het vat zou moeten gieten, kwam ik zo naar america om jullie orgels persoonlijk eens in ogenschouw te kunnen nemen en te bespelen. Misschien is dat ooit nog eens mogelijk.Wat ik van de site zie vind ik geweldig. Maar het zien en het horen lijkt me nog veel mooier. Ik vind deze site een van de beste Amerikaanse orgelsites. Trouwens jullie algehele opbouw van de orgels spreekt me meer aan. Je melde me reagerend op mijn e-mailverzoek dat je oorspronkelijk uit Nederland komt en bij Verschueren Heythuysen het vak hebt geleerd. Ook ik heb als leerling gezel daar gewerkt, in die tijd was je amerikaanse kollega organist en orgelbouwer daar ook. Zegt de naam Robert Noehren je iets? Met hem heb ik in Heythuysen in het hotel waar we bivakeerden regelmatig gesproken over muziek en orgelbouw. Ik hoop je eens persoonlijk te mogen ontmoeten Master of Music Justus van Tricht The Netherlands. |

| Comments: | Dear Sir,
What a great site and exquisite looking and sounding instruments. I have never had the distinct pleasure of either hearing or playing one of your instruments live but certainly hope the opportunity avails itself soon. Could you also please tell the the demonstration piece and composer? Thank you for providing such an informative and enjoyable site. I hope perhaps to own one of your instruments myself someday. Thank you again, Chet Porter |

| Comments: | I happened upon this site quite by accident. I'm the
organist at Village Evangelical Free church in South Holland, Illinois. We have a 61 year old Kimball 6 rank/20 stop pipe organ (small with lots of duplicated sounds). Our church bought it when we were in our former sight in Chicago. It It was the last organ that Kimball made before our involvement in World War II. When we moved it to South Holland, myself and several others at the time were instrumental in hiring an organ builder to expand and enhance the versatility of our organ. Upon my father's death, my mother purchased a trumpet for the organ. We gone from our 6 ranks to 14. When we finish, we'll have 20 ranks; an instrument that will fill our sanctuary with glorious sounds. I've always loved the sound of an organ that breathes. In my travels, I've had the good fortune of playing organs in other areas of the world. Thanks for being on the net. |

photographs show off Visser organs very nicely. I certainly enjoy the organ music when logging on; that is a nice touch. The generous offering on the CD you sent me shows off the sounds of the instruments very well. Your organs are as fine as any I've heard.

| Comments: | Hello Peter,
I found your lovely page when I was browsing the web and am glad to see all the wonderful instruments you are building. You showed me a lot of interesting things about the art of organbuilding and the quality work shop skills have stayed with me, even though I am working in an industry far from your craft. Thanks for being such a good and thoughtful teacher. |

| Comments: | I saw your advertisement in THE DIAPASON, and connected to
your impressive web site, complete with music! This is my first excursion into www-land via a new home internet setup. Who is the composer of the Trumpet Tune played there? The tune is familiar, but I don't have total recall about the source. Please advise to my e-mail address. I am a frequent contributor to THE DIAPASON: Watch for my latest article, "Prodigy Organists of the Past," coming out in the November 2000 issue, probably. (Short people, long on talent!) |
