On December 5, 2010 the CBS Sunday Morning television show presented the following five-minute segment. While the performer who is the subject of the piece is truly of 'Mozartian' capabilities - he is a bit unconventional, to say the least. For those of you who have witnessed his musical prowess, this will be nothing new - he is an incredible talent of the highest order.

It just so happens that the 'co-star' of this segment is an instrumet built by our firm. The 'pipe' organ featured in this video is located at the Church of Saint Vincent Ferrer on the corner of 66th Street and Lexinton Avenue in New York City. The resiedent musician is our long-time friend and collegue, Dr. Mark Bani. Like the featured artist, Dr. Bani is also a product of The Juilliard School of Music - and also the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.

The organ of Saint Vincent Ferrer was completed in two stages: the II/18 chancel instrument was installed in 1998, and the IV/68 gallery organ in 2002.
