Members of the Schlueter Family

Arthur E. Schlueter, Jr., "Art" is the founder, President, and CEO of our companies. A native of south Florida, he has been interested in pipe organs since his childhood. He began studying about the pipe organ and working with organ builders from an early age. During school and college days, he worked under the supervision of an English organ builder living in Florida. After earning his academic degrees and following a career in higher education administration, Art began work in Georgia in 1973, representing one of America’s largest pipe organ builders. His professional activities have always included the full range of organ selling, building, and installation.

Art is a member of the Atlanta chapter of the American Guild of Organists, the American Institute of Organ Builders, The Organ Historical Society, and the International Society of Organ Builders. He also serves on Panel 12 of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for the National Electrical Code as a representative for the AIO and APOBA.

Mr. Arthur Schlueter, III, "Arthur" serves as Vice-President of Tonal and Artistic Direction. The oldest of Art’s children, Arthur’s interest in the organ was spawned at an early age. He has worked in the organ industry since childhood and continued through high school and college. His initial studies were completed at the local community college so that he could continue to work with the company in a part time capacity. He is a graduate from Mercer University with a degree in Marketing. Arthur has been active with the company full time since 1990. He has been responsible for the design of all of our instruments in recent years.
