I wonder if Generalmusic's division of ahlborn-Galanti church organs has closed as well. I know many churches around the country use their church organs.

I was a Generalmusic Keyboard dealer from 1998 till about 2004. I even traveled with my wife to their factory in Italy in 2002. Some of you here might know Chris Anthony, a long time employee of Generalmusic who programmed many of the styles used in the WK4,6 and 8 and the Genesys series. Everything was going great until many changes were made in Management and Chris no longer was a full time employee. I was getting very frustrated with the lack of support and not being competitive in the market with prices going through the roof on their top of the line Genesys keyboards.
During the rough period of the last few years, there was Dave McMahan who was very helpful to all that needed him, but this wasn't enough to sustain their business.
With the economy being what it is today, I worry what will happen to many smaller companies around the world.
I am sorry to see Generalmusic gone. They manufactured innovative products and kept other manufactures on their toes.
Generalmusic was not only providing their own products but they also produced many of the parts used in Ketron keyboards. I saw this when I visited their factory in Ancona Italy. Ketron XD9 plastic keyboard casings where lined up in a big room where they had just been painted. I also visited their Organ Factory in another town. Generalmusic also distributed products from other US manufactures throughout Europe. I wonder if everything has been shut down.
I wish only the best for the Galanti family.
