NEW YORK CITY — The AMERICAN GUILD OF ORGANISTS (AGO) is pleased to announce the addition of classified advertising to its comprehensive list of online Web services. For a nominal monthly fee, individuals and organizations can now post a classified ad in such categories as electronic organs, pipe organs, harpsichords, publications, and recordings.
