Butler-Stevens Inc. has established a simple selection procedure for churches and individuals who are interested in purchasing a Church Organ.  Since our company has no sales staff, it is important that one of our owners oversee the process of selection from the very first inquiry to the installation of the selected organ and the training of the organists who will use it.  We can thereby insure that every customer is able to make an informed decision and that he or she can rest assured that this process will conclude with their complete satisfaction.

NOTE: If you are planning to build a new church, we recommend that you consult with us during the design phase of the project.  By consulting with the architect ahead of time, we can save a church considerable expense later.

STEP 1: Preliminary Meeting

You are invited to contact Butler-Stevens Inc. by phone, e-mail, fax or mail to make a preliminary appointment to discuss the possibility of owning a new Ahlborn-Galanti organ.  If you represent a church committee, we will ask to set a time for us to meet at your church so that we may assess the physical and acoustical needs of your church.  Individual customers are invited to make an appointment to meet with us at our showroom.

STEP 2: Demonstration

After the preliminary meeting, the church committee will be invited to see, hear, and play the recommended model organ in one of our installed church settings.  A date should be set for this demonstration at the preliminary meeting to facilitate the arrangements.  At this second meeting, a professional demonstration will be given by our concert artist so that the entire committee may easily assess the capabilities of the instrument.  Church organists are then welcome to play the organ and ask questions.

STEP 3: Proposal

A proposal is delivered to the committee by one of the owners of Butler-Stevens Inc.  This proposal contains specification information and pricing on all of the instruments and equipment in which the selection committee has shown interest, including the recommended speakers and amplifiers as well as delivery and installation costs.

STEP 4: Select Organ

The selection committee decides which instrument it would like and contacts Butler-Stevens Inc.  A contract is drawn up and delivered by one of the owners of Butler-Stevens Inc.  When the contract has been approved and signed, a deposit of one-half the contract price is due.  The remainder is due at the time of the installation.  At this point, the selected organ and necessary tone cabinets and amplifiers are ordered and the installation is scheduled.

STEP 5: Installation and Training

The selected system is installed and the organists are trained by one of the owners of Butler-Stevens Inc.  The Dedication Concert is scheduled at this time.
