Over 110 Years

Continuing a Family Legacy

The Wicks Organ Company started in the early 1900s on the second floor of a jewelry and watch-making store in Highland, Illinois. The local Catholic priest had asked John Wick to study organ and become the church organist. Soon the parish wanted a new pipe organ to replace their aging reed organ, so John, with the help of his brothers, Louis and Adolph, started to work. Using their talents as a watchmaker, a cabinet maker, and a jeweler, the three Wicks created a small mechanical action instrument that successfully met the needs of their church. Today, the third generation of the Wick family continues the deep rich family legacy with a renewed focus on the traditions of quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
