Father of Arthur E. Schlueter III; founder, President, and CEO of A. E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Company.

Arthur E. Schlueter, Jr., "Art" was born in Florida, where his interest in pipe organs began in 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 a retiring English organ builder living in Florida. After earning his academic degrees from Florida Atlantic University and Georgia State University, he began a career with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1975, Art left his career in higher education administration, to pursue organ-building full-time. Representing one of America’s largest pipe organ builders through 1992, he designed and installed 47 new instruments. His professional activities have always included the full range of organ selling, building, and installation.
