Halbert Gober

Hal got his feet wet in organbuilding in his native Texas with tracker revival pioneer Otto Hofmann. He then spent 8 years in Europe, where he completed the formal German apprenticeship program in the firm of Georg Jann, as well as gaining formative experience in several other shops in Germany and Switzerland. Came to Canada in 1981 as voicer for Karl Wilhelm, then was a freelance voicer and pipemaker for several well-known North American and European firms before completing his first organ in 1991. Hal works closely with the other craftsmen in his four-person shop.
