In a small country church in rural Illinois an organ breathes Bach to an enthralled congregation. The piece reaches its crescendo and trails off. There is a magical moment, when everyone lingers on a higher plane of existence before gently returning to reality. No one is more inspired than the organist, davosales, whose lifelong passion has been playing and repairing antique reed organs.

For more than thirty years davosales has taken a delight restoring and repairing these complicated musical wonders. Antique reed organs restored to their original splendor by davosales have been shipped to destinations all over the United States. Music played on these works of craftsmanship helps preserve a piece of history, as audiences across the country are temporarily transported to an earlier time through exalting choral pieces and merry music hall repertoire of the early twentieth century.

davosales is one of the lucky people in the world who have been able to turn their passion into a successful business. Between his eBay Store and a brick-and-mortar store in Altona, Illinois, he features an excellent collection of reed organs and other antiques. In fact, his physical store is somewhat of an antique in itself, located in a building built in the 1850s as a dry goods store.

eBay is the ideal venue for davosales' interests – people from all over seek his expertise in organs, ranging from repair to valuation. He loves helping people and sharing his knowledge about the intricacies of antique reed pipe organs. And when not investigating the innards of a 19th -century organ or running his store, davosales can be found perfecting his organ playing at a small country church in Illinois. So if you find yourself cruising through Peoria or the Quad Cities, keep your ears open. You may just hear one of these wonderful reed organs, telling the story of one eBay member's life passion.
