Dr. Douglas Moorehead, Organist, Christ Church, Eureka, CA

"I am most impressed by your ability through your voicing to give a seamless buildup from the quietest sounds to full organ. Also, with only 31 ranks to work with, the interplay among the different stops is amazing: everything seems to work with everything else!.......Your company did a magnificent job of matching the organ casework to our pre-existing old growth redwood color and patterning in the chancel area. It does indeed look like the organ was always there! The woodwork is of the highest quality, and the materials used were likewise. We appreciated your meticulous attention to detail, even down to the fine chest and inner chamber work which no one will even see. Even I can find my way around to various pipes, given your clear labeling and intelligent layout of pipes in the two chambers...........You have been very generous to us in financial terms also. Despite the economic downturn and huge increases in transportation costs, you held to the original terms of the contract and never spoke about any contingency costs. In fact, you even gave us an additional rank which was not even mentioned in the contract: the Swell 4' string stop. You also finished slightly ahead of your projected timetable. This was a huge benefit to Christ Church.............Thank you so much for all your work, and please convey my thanks and great appreciation to your employees; they have all done superlative work on our organ!"

Jonathan Ambrosino, organ critic, reviewing the Texas A&M organ for Choir & Organ magazine

"Some organbuilders set trends where others follow. But some builders don't seem to pay much attention to that sort of thing, instead working out personal solutions to musical beliefs and building organs as a result. Charles Kegg seems to fit this mold, for while his approach could be considered mainstream, it is no less personal for being so..... (Concerning borrowing,)divisions are divisions and stops are stops, and any extensions should be viewed solely as a convenience, almost as stop-specific couplers. One senses that in all but Kegg's smallest organs, removing the extension would still yield a responsible core ensemble....Many modern organs start out with engaging color, only to conclude at a plain, almost predictable ensemble... The reverse can be found here, where the calm start has a more dramatic and textured conclusion, in an organ finished to a clear plan and with evident care."

Fred Swann, Concert Artist

"...you have no superiors in the business, and precious few equals..."

Jim Gladden, Organ Committee Chair, First United Methodist Church, Winnsboro, SC

".....It is truly a pleasure to work with such perfectionists as yourselves. .....The Kegg organ has exceeded our expectations...... The congregation is singing with gusto and the choir has achieved a higher level of musical performance and confidence...."

Robert Sullivan, Organist and Director of Music/Liturgy, St. John the Baptist Church, Canton, OH

"...The rich sound constantly reminds me of an English Cathedral organ which is EXACTLY what I wanted......The balance, warmth of the tone and splendor of sound is breathtaking! I love this organ!..... I have been overwhelmed and pleased by the reaction of our parishioners. They are very proud of our new organ, and constantly tell me how much they appreciate the many different sounds they hear during their weekly worship.....Thank you for guiding our Organ Committee through this monumental journey..."

Norma Orr, Organ Committee Chair, Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Winfield, KS

"...Your integrity, expertise and experience along with your ability to work well with our congregation has made the organ project extremely enjoyable and rewarding..."

Dr. Edwin Rieke, Director of Music, St. Mark's Episcopal Church, San Antonio, TX, new console

"Just to let you know once again (hope you are not tiring of the praise!) how thrilled I am with the console. It is a joy to play, from the keyboards, the pedal board, and everything being where you expect it to be. Needless to say, the workmanship is flawless.....I also appreciate the timeliness with which the installation took place. I can't believe we were only without the organ one Sunday......Thanks again for everything.

Dr. Ray Keck, President, Texas A&M International University, Laredo, TX

"Like a birth in the family, a new organ fills the community with expectation, optimism, and joy. Today, like a family grateful for a trouble-free birth, we recognize that this project was from the first somehow marvelously blessed to be in the hands of Kegg Pipe Organ Builders. "I will be in Laredo on April 24, 2006. The organ will be done by late June,' Charles Kegg promised the anxious organ committee in the fall of 2003. And it was. Voicing is rich and full, a strategy to exploit the marvelous acoustics in the hall. Visually, the organ is nothing short of spectacular."

Dr. David Heller, Trinity University, San Antonio, TX, consultant for Texas A&M University, Laredo, TX

"...After careful study and analysis of the proposals submitted, TAMIU awarded the contract to Kegg Pipe Organ Builders of Ohio because of the firm's innovative tonal design, the manner in which the proposal met our criteria, and the potential impact that such an instrument would have on the public. The end result has surpassed our expectations!.....As an artist, I can honestly state that this organ is one of the most flexible and musically satisfying instruments I have ever played. Each stop carries its weight, and each stop does what the drawknob tells you. The balance between the divisions is so finely honed that one can select registrations with complete ease. It was a joy to conceive and put together an inaugural recital that combined the works of Hancock, Bach, Franck, Duruflé, and Phillips with more non-traditional repertoire by Lefébure-Wely, Ramón Noble, and Edward Elgar. And if all of that were not enough, the design of the console and the operating system for the combination action (one of the most user friendly systems I have seen to date) made the entire experience of recital preparation and performance a breeze...."
