Welcome to my website – I hope you enjoy reading it!

For more than thirty years I have been working as an organ builder servicing pipe organs. This usually involves a technical examination of the instrument, repairs and the tuning of the pipes. Besides visiting customers at their premises, my company also has a workshop which includes a machine room, joiner's bench room with pipe tester as well as an office and a warehouse.

This enables me to carry out rebuilding and additions as well as the advance voicing of new registers or follow-up voicing.

You usually take your car in to the workshop for inspection to ensure that the condition and value of the vehicle remain good. It is similar with a pipe organ although one aspect differentiates the two. Pipe organs are serviced and restored on-site, at the customer's premises. This means that this profession also requires a high degree of mobility as well as the willingness to travel also longer distances.

Three years ago we acquired a large new trailer, a stage crane and an electrically controlled lifting platform which enables us to also fully disassemble organs, transport them and then reassemble together with specialist employees.

Video Restoration
