The UK's leading Digital Church Organ specialist
I had to laugh when the vehicle turned up last week. Our main carrier DSV had obviously subcontracted the job and as you see a vehicle blazoned ‘Eurospeed’ arrived at Bicester last Friday. While the shipment made the journey in its usual time frame of 3 to 4 days without any issue at UK customs…

You’ve started planning the details of your big wedding day – congratulations! When thinking about organ music for the church service itself most people have in mind some hymns they know and like, perhaps remembered from schooldays; but the world of the organ and its music can be a closed book to many.

Pipe organ projects are known to take many years in the planning as they are always complex and expensive, often involving structural alterations and extensive fundraising.

During our meeting I learnt that John had done his undergraduate training at Kings College Cambridge where he was student during World War II. He had played the organ there…

With our offices unusually quiet again in the second lockdown I resorted to exploring YouTube for material to pass some time. I also wanted to find a film clip I remember from the 1990’s of a remarkable home organ in the USA which I saw on one of the series ‘Howard Goodall’s Organworks’ Not all…

The need for home practice organs has never been greater. We have seen a marked increase in enquiries and sales of our Chorum range of home organs, and in particular the Chorum 40-S. However, there might be those organists who want more from their practice organ whilst maintaining the same small footprint as the Chorum…

From time to time when we receive a used organ, it comes with a ‘stash’ of it’s previous owner’s sheet music. These are more often than not sad acquisitions, as the music belonged to the musician who has died and there is no family member who wants or can use the library that has been…
