Sneak Peak at details of the new A.E. Schlueter organ at Most Holy Trinity Cadet Chapel in West Point, New York.

What Was.….The original 1961 Moller organ did not have an 8’ Principal in the Great, only one reed, limited color, and no mutation devices, one pair of strings, and only two 16’ registers, which were extensions of the manual stop registers. These resources were addressed through a two-manual console with the 2 rank Swell (string and celeste!) as a floating division.

What Is…..The new organ is 24 ranks and controllable from a new custom three-manual console. There are no electronic or digital voices in the organ. This required very custom engineering for the new electro-pneumatic windchest to design and build a much larger instrument within its original space allocation without (seemingly) major visual changes.

The stoplist is attached. Watch for this organ to be featured as the cover article in The Diapason September 2025 issue for full details.

The new Schlueter Pipe Organ in the gallery of Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church at West Point Military Academy. This new instrument folds in some of the pipework from the 1961 Moller. The new organ is a III manual, 24 rank instrument. The exposed pipes are designed to be evocative of the original design albeit with a much larger, more eclectic specification. There is a very custom Swell division that speaks into the left side of the gallery. We were honored to have built this electro-pneumatic instrument at such an esteemed place. The voicing was completed in March!

Today, I had the opportunity to visit Tallowood Baptist in Houston to repair the damaged blower in the Chapel and took a few moments to inspect the sanctuary instrument our team completed 12 years ago. This impressive instrument boasts 93 ranks and was a significant recasting, expansion, and completion project. Notably, it was featured on the cover of The Diapason magazine. And, to answer a frequently asked question, yes, those are indeed 32’ pipes in the facade. Arthur Schlueter III

A.E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Company Announces Leadership Transition and Strategic Growth

Founded in 1973 by Arthur E. Schlueter, Jr., the A.E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Company has flourished for over five decades. The reason we do what we do is best expressed by our motto “Soli Deo Gloria” which is incorporated into our company logo and included on the maker’s plate installed on each organ we have built and rebuilt.

Today, the firm enters its next chapter as Arthur E. Schlueter, III, completes the purchase of the company from his father, assuming the role of President.

Arthur (III) has been a fixture of the company since childhood—from holding notes during tunings as a boy to shaping the firm’s artistic direction as Vice President. After earning a B.A. in Marketing from Mercer University, Arthur followed his passion back to the family craft, gaining hands-on experience in every facet of organ building, tonal design, and project management.

Building the Future:

The A.E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Company enters this new era with a full order book and its veteran management team and staff intact. Arthur III remains committed to the hallmark quality and client care that defined his father’s tenure. To support this growth, the firm has recently expanded its team, adding two new tuning crews, manufacturing staff, and a new voicer.

Arthur Schlueter, Jr. will continue to serve the firm in an Emeritus advisory capacity, ensuring his 50 years of expertise remain a cornerstone of the company’s bright future.
This past year under the leadership of Arthur Schlueter III we have completed the following projects:
• Our Lady of Assumption, Brookhaven, Georgia: New IV-manual, 65-rank Schlueter pipe organ
• Peachtree Christian Church, Atlanta, Georgia: Building a new organ chassis inclusive of new chests, winding system, structure, and façade restoration for the 40-rank 1930 Pilcher pipe organ.
• St. Paul’s Episcopal, Savannah, Georgia: Revoicing Great and Swell pipework
• The Fox Theater, Atlanta, Georgia: Rebuilding and reinstallation of Chamber B

Looking Back: New York Avenue Presbyterian

We fondly remember the building and installation of the new organ at the historic New York Ave Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC.
