Much has been written in the last decade about collaborations among organbuilders, two or more firms contracted to complete a large, new instrument.
Given the economic realities of the time in which we live, more and more firms are modifying their business models to go outside the parameters of their earlier work and rebuild a client's existing instrument.
We have always rebuilt organs of good manufacture. The organs in this section are some on which we have collaborated with the original builder to bring the very best of those extant intruments forward into the 21st century. In each case the organ was already a fine instrument, but was at the point of needing heavy repair to keep it playing.
In each we have retained the very best of the pipework, revoiced as required, while supplying additional new ranks to fill out the specification. Mechanical systems have been rebuilt or replaced and new consoles with state-of-the-art technology provided.
The results are outstanding organs which maintain the essence of the original instrument while generally going beyond the original builders' intent to speak with the character of a new organ, ready to meet their owners' needs, tonally and mechanically, for decades to come.
