ABOUT WHITESEL MUSIC
*Whitesel Music is happily an independent organ and piano retailer and not a registered Allen Organ dealer, so we can pass along the savings*
Whitesel Music has the distinct honor and privilege of being the United States Representative for Mascioni Pipe Organ Builders of Italy. Early last century Northern Italy was under Napoleonic domain. Napoleon Bonaparte issued a decree by which he established the suppression of all religious orders. The history of the company roots back right to this time when two brothers and monks, Pasquale and Giuseppe Mascioni, were forced to take refuge at the foot of the Alps, in Cuvio, their hometown located in a green valley crossed by the stream Boesio which flows into Lake Maggiore. The two brothers inspired their nephew to become an organ master and so they sent him to study with the musician Pietro Della Valle. Years went by and the younger Mascioni learned the secrets of the craft: in 1829 he founded the organ factory "Giacomo Mascioni". After winning a name in the area in 1869 he made the first organ for a foreign country, Switzerland, in the Bernese Juras. Upon Vincenzo Mascioni's death, his sons (Giacomo, Ernesto, Giovanni, Angelo, Vincenzo and Tullio) took over the business and the company continued to grow. In the 70's the organ production modified its standards of style. In order to meet the requirements of a new generation of organ players , models of the past were updated. Since those years, mechanical tracker-action organs have been built and old instruments restored. Nowadays Ernesto's sons and grandsons (Eugenio, Enrico and Mario, Andrea and Giorgio) carry on the business, so that the Mascioni's can continue in their sixth generation. From projecting to building, Mascioni guarantees total quality not only through new technological machinery and a well organized method of production; but also by keeping a close collaboration with specialists and taking part in technical workshops held by the International Society of Organbuilders.
Please click on the pictures above for a few featured installations from different parts of the world. A Mascioni Organ is as unique as the congregation it serves. These are highly individualized instruments made esspecially for the people who hear it every Sunday. By working with Whitesel Music, you will get individualized attention beyond what anyone else can offer. As Christians, we understand our responsibility is not only to you, but to God.

Dear Potential Customer,
We have been installing electronic organs in churches for three generations. We consider ourselves the church's advocate. Between my Grandfather and myself, we now have over 1,100 organs throughout the country. Our journey began in the beautiful, historic, and church rich Shenandoah Valley. As an ordained minister, my Grandfather understands the serious issues facing a church when making a large investment in something like an organ. For a half century we represented another church organ manufacturer. The relationship was wonderful. But even with this long history, my grandfather constantly reminded me to never put the wants, needs, and desires of a company above the needs of the church. In his words...'We're not married to any one company'. In his inherent wisdom, he was able to see that if we are to do our job properly we should always, under any circumstance, make sure that the organs we recommend to churches have the absolute latest and best technology. For this reason, it was without hesitation that we made a change a decade ago. I'm proud to install Viscount Organs with PHYSIS Technology. Understand that PHYSIS technology is so advanced, no other major manufacturer currently offers anything like it. Understand that while sampled sounds served us so well for so many years, they are old and archaic by today's standards. Understand that a recorded (sampled) sound can NEVER 'act' like a real pipe organ. Understand that a recorded sound will always sound the same every time you play the note. A real pipe organ doesn't do that. A real pipe organ reacts to the temperature and humidity in our sanctuary. A real pipe organ changes sound with age. A Viscount Unico Series Organ with PHYSIS Technology is the only organ available by a major manufacturer that not only sounds like a real pipe organ, but also feels and acts like one.
I will be the first to tell you that when the other manufacturer representatives tell you their they are offering you their latest technology, they are not lying. They are telling you the complete truth. It's just that the truth is that some of their 'new' organs have technology from 20 years ago. If you have any doubt in your mind, it's time to watch these videos on PHYSIS Technology. If you still aren't sure, ask one of the over 1000 other churches if we were more concerned with making a sale, or doing the right thing.
As human's, it is easy for us to have some sort of sentimental value attached to a brand. Maybe because a certain organ was in the church we grew up with. Or maybe because a family member played on an old organ we remember. Whitesel Music is 100% objective in this matter. Whitesel Music has one goal, and one goal alone...to install an instrument that is the absolute closest thing to a real pipe organ. When considering a new organ, we have that with Viscount.
God Bless,
Joshua J.S. Dove
