Matthew Caulfield sent us a nice obituary of organbuilder and composer
Robert Heilbuth, which appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle of
Friday, June 28, 2002.

Chronicle writer Kelly St. John says that Heilbuth "built five organs
in his home in the Richmond District, including a baroque tracker
action organ, three extensive player organs and a large carousel band
organ" and that he composed more than 100 pieces for these instruments.
