Olympic Organ Builders was an importer and fabricator of mechanical action pipe organs in Seattle, Washington from 1962. The company built approximately 15 mechanical-action organs from 1967 through 1970. The company was an informal partnership formed in 1962 of David P Dahl and Glenn D White Jr to import and install organs from Detlef Kleuker and Werner Bosch (both in Germany). David designed the stop lists and Glenn did the mechanical installation and final voicing and tuning. They were joined by James R (Jim) Ludden in 1967 as designer-builder.
