Led by Rimantas  Gučas the workshop was the only one of its kind not only in  Lithuania but in the whole Soviet Union. It was able to do all the jobs - from the pipes and keyboards up to ornamented façades. The main  point of concern of the workshop was the restoration of historic  instruments. During almost forty years of the activities there were  more than 30 organs restored or built at the Vilnius' Organ  Workshop. The organ at Vilnius' University St. John's Church  completed in 2000 is the largest in Lithuania.  Rimantas Gučas was born 1942 in Kaunas.

Since 1998, R.Gučas is a member of the  International Society of Organ Builders (ISO). The catalogue  “Lithuanian Organs” was published by Rimantas Gučas in 2009.
