Many, many years ago while in the organ business, there the top notch organ company was Aeolian-Skinner and truly were the leader in the industry. I know for a fact churches would have them submit a quote only to use it against a competitor, showing the organ committee the 'better' price of the so called competitor....consequently Aeolian-Skinner charged for a quote, but the fee was put towards the purchase of one of their instruments and in todays market especially with high costs of labor and material (Ugh, just putting gasoline/diesel in the trucks) I sort of can't blame a company....but like so many other suggestions place here.....move on...get another company!
