DORIAN ORGANS Company Profile

---

1955 - F. Richard Burt, student in church music ministries, took his first pipe organ crawl through the new Aeolian-Skinner in the First Baptist Church of Abilene.

1959 - Called to the Trinity Baptist Church of Dallas, wrote an organ prelude for the organist with a pedal solo line. It could not be played as conceived. Finding out why took several years of study and many more organ crawls. The prospects of ever having a church with a real pipe organ were remote. Started looking for a really fine electronic imitation.

1964 - Built his first analog organ for a church.

1965 - Heard the new Saville Series-II organs. Sold his first 42-rank,three-manual Saville organ. A new career was launched.
