Chichi Organi

Company

The attention that we give the stages of constructing an instrument, from design through to testing, is the guarantee of a high quality product intended to endure the test of time.

Windchests, bellows, actions, metal and wooden pipes, castings, ornamental details, structures and cabinets handcrafted by skilled hands with the help of state of the art equipment are the result of the union of tradition and innovation which has always been our inspiration.

Quality materials

Chichi organs use the highest quality materials, from the lumber used for wooden structures, the keyboards, the actions, the various components and for the wooden pipes (for the latter very select spruce from Val di Fiemme is used), to the leather and to the metal alloys used for the metal pipes.

Pipes workshop

The alloy and wooden pipes that make up our instruments are manufactured in the company’s workshops. Our craftsmen, using all the necessary equipment, give form and sonority to the pipes.

For the selection of acoustic timbres, we have always been inspired by a strong Italian tradition, which has now become a symbol of quality in the international world of organ building.

ASSEMBLY, TESTING AND INSPECTION

When all the components are ready, they are assembled in our workshops to give shape to each new organ for the first time. Here each part of the instrument is tested and inspected for correct operation. It is then disassembled for varnishing and transported to its final destination.
