    ELECTRONIC ORGAN 
    CONSTRUCTORS' SOCIETY




   The Electronic Organ Constructor's Society is a 
   society for those interested in building and/or 
   customizing electronic organs and similar electronic 
   musical instruments.
   The Society was founded in 1960 by the late Arthur le 
   Boutillier in order to bring together enthusiasts who 
   were building electronic organs from kits or to designs 
   published in books and magazines. Although based in the
   United Kingdom it now has members in many other countries.
   While the EOCS is nominally an amateur society some of 
   the U.K. members have gone on to earn their living by 
   working at their former hobby. In the USA, Australia 
   and New Zealand a much greater proportion of the members 
   seem to have followed this path, and many have remained 
   members.

      The range of interests within the society is wide. Some 
    members have a greater interest in building than playing 
    their instruments. Others prefer to play but build in 
    order to have something special, while some even want 
    to build an instrument on which to learn to play. Over 
    the years since the EOCS was founded, members have 
    designed and built many different types of instrument, 
    including synthesisers, electronic pianos and even a 
    few curiosities such as add-on electronic voices for 
    a piano-accordion. However, with the wide availability 
    of cheap electronic keyboards, the current membership
    concentrates mainly on instruments with classical and 
    cinema (theatre) organ voices. Some members are also 
    involved with pipe organs, including one who has built 
    digital multiplex and capture combination systems for 
    pipe organs. The members also cover a wide range of 
    occupations. All who are interested in electronic organ 
    building as a hobby are welcome as members.
