n, tubular, electro-pneumatic and direct electric actions. Our mission is simple: To promote the pipe organ and the art of organ building and to achieve the best possible experience from every organ under our care. We do this by:

• Custom design, building and voicing the organ to match its surroundings and musical needs. It is often said that the "room" is the most important stop on the organ.

• Rebuilding with respect to the authenticity of the original builder's tonal design and specification.

• Accurate restoration of historical instruments using materials and practices appropriate for the style and period.

• Enhancing reliability and playability by combining state-of-the-art electronic control systems while maintaining appropriate tonal design.

• Putting craftsmanship ahead of business economics. We thank you for taking time to browse our page. Many thanks to our customers for allowing us to care for their instruments and we appreciate the opportunity to participate in your next organ project.
