The Theatre Organ Society of the Delaware Valley (TOSDV) was founded in 1955 as the second Chapter of the nationwide American Theatre Organ Society (ATOS). \u00a0Our purpose is to preserve the historic tradition of the Theatre Pipe Organ in American music. Based in eastern Pennsylvania, we restore remaining specimens of the instrument where possible, work with theatres to preserve them, and showcase them to the public for entertainment.<\/p>\n
