February 6, 1947 – May 1, 2020 
Master pipe organ craftsman Ken Crome passed away on May 1. It
would be difficult to find a corner of the theatre organ world
that Ken didn't touch, from the original installation in the
Jasper Sanfilippo home, to the recent acclaimed installation of
the original Fox Studio Wurlitzer in the Bandrika studio of
Nathan Barr. His stellar craftsmanship is seen the in the
numerous consoles he constructed or rebuilt, and the many
installations that benefited from his immense knowledge and
skill. In 1983 Ken received the first ATOS Award for Technical
Excellence (with Ed Stout and Dick Taylor). His legacy will live
on in the many lives he touched, and the instruments he
enhanced. |
