About Us
Aaron Kaleniecki
With over 50 installations in the past two decades, Aaron is recognized as a premier digital organ voicer and spends much of his free time studying pipe organs and their musical nuances. Countless hours listening to and identifying these details give him the necessary tools to create the most authentic digital organ installations. When most sales teams focus on the next deal, he makes sure each and every instrument he installs is as good as it can possibly be.
Viscount Organs of Michigan is owned and operated by Aaron Kaleniecki. Aaron has been in organ performance, sales and service for over 20 years with significant experience in all aspects of the organ industry. Having earned his music performance degree from Wayne State University, he is active as parish church musician first and foremost. Aaron understands how the organ, whether it be pipe, digital, combination, or tonewheel fits into the various styles of worship from traditional to ultra contemporary. He has conducted choirs and orchestras, developed his own community chorus and maintains a healthy concert schedule.
When he isn’t playing or working on organs, Aaron spends his free time restoring vintage hi-fi audio equipment - and building custom guitar amplifiers - specifically those that use vacuum tubes requiring extreme attention to detail. As a member of the National Corvette Restorers Society, he is the “go-to” guy for refurbishing 1950’s and 1960’s Chevrolet Fuel Injected engines. Aaron lives in Allen Park with his wife Ruth, and their two children: Ralph and Charles.
