From physics to organsSourced
From a bomb laboratory
to a pipe-organ workshop.
Charles Fisk worked as an electronics technician at Los Alamos during World War II, initially unaware of the project he was helping. He studied physics afterward, then changed course in the early 1950s and became known for building pipe organs with historic mechanical features.
A life of making
took a very different turn.
