 Halfdan Oussoren didn't so much learn how to tune an organ as he was born into the craft. He is from a Danish family that founded the Marcussen & Son organ-building company, still located in the same small southern Denmark town of Aabenraa where it was founded in 1806. "I've seen organs since I was this tall," Oussoren said earlier this week, leaning over to hold his hand a couple of feet off the floor. Oussoren brought all that history and know-how to Wichita State University this week to tune a Marcussen organ at Wiedemann Hall.
