Pipes organ builder – NEWS –

We build flue pipes in tin, lead, alloys and zinc up to 16 feet.

The metal pipes are all fabricated by hand in the traditional mode, with the use of small technical aids, in a suggestive process that has been handed down for centuries.

We fully make reed pipe. From the casting of every detail such as shallot, blocks and resonators, to the final assembly.

The choices of all construction elements can be customized and arranged with the customer.

We build wood pipe starting from 32 feet with specially selected timber, principally in glued-laminated fir, italian “Val di Fiemme striped fir”, oak, chestnut and any other wood on request.

The bodies are made with interlocking joints, using special adhesives and hot pressing. This is a particular process that guarantees stability over time and immunity to humidity and temperature change.

In our foundry, we can produce any type of metal sheet for the organ pipes construction up to 8 feet, in various alloys and thicknesses.

We use only “Banka” tin and highest quality lead, without adding impurities or waste material.

At the customer’s request, we can supply any type of raw material for pipes manufacturing.

We can also supply sheets already cut, ready for rounding.

We take great care in restoring metal and wooden pipes up to 32 feet.

All materials are first cataloged and studied. The original alloys or woods type, measurements, and tuning ratios are carefully analyzed.
This is followed by delicated restoration work, including body cleaning with specific products to remove debris while preserving the original patina. This is followed by shaping the bodies and feet, stitching and additions, respecting the material and the structural characteristics to achieve the original geometry.

In the case of reconstructions of missing pipes, the stops are integrated with new, rebuild using the same alloys, measure ratio, and construction techniques as the originals, to give back instrument’s lost sound.

Is possible to receive the pipes, with or without mouths opening

Already voiced or with a pre-voicing that the customer can finalize themselves.
