we


We are a team of organbuilders, carpenters and artisans from various professional backgrounds, each with his or her distinctive professional characteristics.

Each of us is distinguished through his or her experience and practical expertise.

Together, we strive for excellence by combining our individual talents as craftsmen and creative artists to achieve our mutual goal.

what


We build pipe organs, both large and small, with delicate as well as magnificent sounds, so that others who have also learned as diligently as we have, might play especially beautiful music on them.

We build our instruments not only for churches, but also for concert halls, as well as for private living rooms or music salons. We go to great efforts to find the ideal solution for every location.

how


We believe that the greatest efforts are worthy enough for the modern, contemporary instruments which should far outlast the people who have created them. These efforts include the use of the most modern machinery and technology in conjunction with the traditional materials of organbuilding: wood, tin and lead, to name a few.

when


From Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. - in our modern workshop located in the industrial park in Owingen (near Überlingen on the Lake of Constance).

In our spare time we think about and talk about ways to improve on what we are doing.

At night we dream of building the best and most beautiful pipe organs that money can buy.

why


Because we are great idealists, who regard our work as a cultural contribution. Nevertheless, it is out goal to conduct our business in an economically sound manner, convinced that only thus can we continue to offer our discerning clientele the excellent instruments they insist on, namely elegant
instruments of the highest technological quality and with first class sound, designed and built with an eye to the future.
