This is the story of a boy who loved pipe organs - "the sound of the soul."
One day the boy saw an article and a picture of a pipe organ built by the students in the technical shop of a school in England. They used a book called "How to Build a Two Manual Pipe Organ" by H.F. Milne.

This instrument became my property in 1955, and was erected in a music room built for it on my farm home in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, in 1963. In 1979 I moved it to a specially built room added to my house in Victoria, where it is in almost daily use by students and others.
