Founded in 1877, Schoenstein & Co. creates and repairs pipe organs. Its Mission District building is a San Francisco Registered Landmark. Records of all 151 organs the company has built are kept in filing cabinets. Organs are designed specifically for their future residence and the final voicing process once one is installed can take three months. The waiting list for a new organ is currently at four years. With annual sales of $2 million to $3 million, Schoenstein & Co. isn’t poised for riches, but the owner and employees treat their work as a labor of love, receiving immense enjoyment from the challenge and variety of their craft.
