737: Sculley and Heil
Bob Heil, Early Life and the Fox Theater Organ
Bob Heil recounts his early introduction to audio through ham radio and the organ. He describes becoming the protege of Stan Cann at the Fox Theater in St. Louis at age 15. Heil explains how voicing and tuning thousands of pipes in a Wurlitzer organ taught him how to "listen" and harmonically dissect sound, a skill that would later define his career in microphone design.
