Repairs

Pipe organs require detailed maintenance to insure peak performance throughout the life of the instrument. As such, we offer complete releathering and rewiring services. Our workshop can repair damaged or collapsing pipework, and offers newly built pipes when necessary. We offer services a simple as patching wind lines all the way to full renovations.

Additions

We are proud to be one of the only organ builders based in Florida to provide new pipework, additions, and antiphonal divisions. We design and build our installations from the ground up, focusing on the acoustic needs of the client and highlighting the existing architecture of the building. We offer console rebuilds, solid state system installation, and new additions, both electropneumatic and electric action.

Special Projects

Occasionally, an organ is in need of a ‘finishing touch’ that adds brilliance, both visually and acoustically. From painting facade pipes to adding new casework, we offer a range of services to alter the appearance of an installation. Our shop also offers custom-built Zimbelstern-stars combinations and Nightingale Calls to expand an organist’s palette of sound.
