Our skills
Our company's activities cover the widest possible field, so our openness to different techniques, styles, working methods and sounds is constantly being called upon. Our tonal signature presents itself in instruments with a characterful and lively sound, shaped by our love of music, and inspired by the organs of both old and new Masters.
In the field of construction, our main focus is on instruments from 3 to 15 stops, from positif organs, via house organs and practice organs, to church organs. Of course, the team and the infrastructure are also prepared for larger instruments!
-
Construction
When we design a new organ, we are guided by the intended musical use of the instrument.
-
Restauration and Refurbishment
A successful restoration begins with a detailed examination of an organ, along with historical and material research.
-
Maintenance
When it comes to refurbishment, tuning and repairs, we are concerned to maintain, or even improve, the quality of the instrument.
Retuning is carried out with all due care, and thorough testing and regulation of the action improves the reliability of the instrument. We maintain around a hundred instruments in Switzerland, Germany and France. Long-term contact with an instrument creates a mutual familiarity between the organ-builder and the instrument, and also between the organ-builder, the organist and the parish.
This successful relationship is also a basis for further projects, such as revisions and the building of new instruments, which is important for the continued existence of the company, for the preservation of professional knowledge, and also for the training of young professionals.
