The Organ Forum

How about this idea that I just thought up:

Place ads in the major organ & choir magazines (AGO Magazine, The Diapason Magazine etc.) inviting builders who may be interested in building you a new organ to contact you...a bit like a tendering process, though you don't necessarily go for the cheapest.

Invite the builders around one at a time, and tell them your budget to see what they might come up with.

Has anyone ever tried this kind of method, rather than going through a large directory of organ builders one by one?
