In May and June of 2005, Hector bought and outfitted a truck in order to be able to bring his Atelier® and 4-manual to audiences around the countryside.

"Harry" enjoys HIS new truck
During "Harry" & Hector's travels, they visit Mt. Rushmore (2/13/06) - above & below
....and Big Horn National Forest. Brrr - it's cold here
So if you see Hector pull up in your area - you will know a treat will soon be in store for you.
Above & below, dropping the hydraulic tailgate...
...Permits access to the instruments, speakers and other necessary equipment
As you can see from the loading chart guides - a designated place for everything.
With assistance from the volunteers,
in this case from the Community Church at Ocean Pines, MD
the truck is carefully unloaded.

The vehicle was selected with just the right equipment to do the job, and then Hector built the speaker stands organ platforms, and more - all from scratch - to provide the ability to provide his audiences with only the best.
Ready to do some maintenance
Within the body of the truck are special protected spaces for the two instruments, and the speakers he carries along with him
These photos were taken in his garage as he was setting up the speakers on the of the custom designed stands
Here they are, set up for the Organ Power concert in January of 2006
He also made these platforms for the Atelier and Rodgers instruments - (Pictured here on his living room floor)
