Cal Parsons' grandfather used to tune George Eastman's pipe organ at his East Avenue mansion once a week. The instrument was the Kodak founder's daily alarm clock. Eastman needed it just right. 

"It's a complex instrument," said Parsons, owner of the Parsons Pipe Organ Company of Canandaigua. 

And just as Gideon Levi Parsons would serve Eastman, Cal Parsons and his team spent two weeks delivering a special instrument to a local faith community. They made the 3,100 mile trip to Houston, then deconstructed, packed, shipped, reconstructed and tuned what's known as Opus II, a pipe organ that will now fill St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Brockport with a powerful sound that can fill the village from its point at State and Main Streets.

"The organ that we had was kind of in a sorry state," said St. Luke's Virgina Campbell. "It needed to be replaced."

And so a classical vocalist and pipe organ enthusiast in the community searched for one. He found it online, in a Houston, Texas church that was shutting down. It was an instrument Parsons knew well. 

"We built that for a Presbyterian church," said Cal Parsons. "That was back in '85 but the church closed so we went and got it."

The Opus II also happens to be the very first instrument the Parsons company ever built. Its 600 pipes remained in top form. As it arrived in Brockport, St. Luke's made room. 

"Acoustics is the biggest challenge to installing these, but the second biggest is space," Parson said. "Churches usually don’t have enough space for a pipe organ."

St. Luke's had room for Opus II. Its leaders couldn't wait to hear it at Sunday services this weekend.

"It’s tuned to, and created for, baroque classical music," Campbell said. "Perfect for a worship setting."

"I think it’s such an integral part of my own worship of God," St. Luke's pastoral leader Elizabeth Harden said. "And the more beautiful that can be, the more deeply moved and the more closer to God we are in our worship."

As his installers finished their work Wednesday, Parsons looked proudly on the most special of the three dozen instruments his family company had built.

"The satisfaction I guess is to build it and see how long it lasts," Parsons said. "We hope it lasts generations."
