Company Overview

We, a small group of professional Organbuilders, are specialised in building mechanical organs of all sizes. The design and layout of our instruments are in accordance with the principles of the classical tradition, and contains the basic stop list to play the classic German and French literature. On our three-manual instruments, we propose a large swell division, which is most suitable for the accompaniment of Anglican Church music, and serves the romantic repertoire as well.

The organ case is designed according to the principle of "golden section" and made of solid white oak. The free spaces above the pipes are filled with hand carved pipeshades, thus providing an acoustical function as well as enhancing the visual appearance of the organ.

The organ is winded by a small electric blower which feeds "cuneiform" bellows. Wind is carried to the slyderchests through well proportioned wooden wind trunks which gives the music a singing buoyant quality.

The metal pipes are handmade out of a tinlead alloys. Some of the flute pipes are hammered lead and have soldered-on caps or are cone-tuned for greater tuning stability and best tone quality. The voicing is done in the classical manner for natural speech and mellow blend. Selected woods and other reliable materials are chosen to ensure lasting quality.
