Established by Michael L. Bigelow in Provo, Utah, 1978; in American Fork, Utah, 1984; active in 1995.1 The firm specializes in tracker action instruments, and is noted for its Either/or System whereby stops can be registered on either one manual or the other. This allows a small tracker instrument to have its resources available on two manuals while using a single chest. Although the majority of its opus list are two manuals of less than 12 ranks, the firm has built three manual instruments of up to 50 ranks.2
