Formed in 1999 as a semi-charitable venture to preserve pipe organs displaced from churches across the island of Ireland.
We restore, rebuild, relocate, tune and maintain pipe organs throughout Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and further afield. Where a building closes or an instrument is displaced, we take it into store, record it, and look for a church or hall where it can sound again.
Many major projects have been documented photographically through dismantling, workshop restoration and final installation — that record forms the archive on this site.

Redundant organs
31 instruments are waiting for a new home.
When a church closes, its organ is usually the first thing to go. We take displaced instruments into store, record their builder, action, compass and stop list, and offer them for rehousing rather than let them be broken up.
Enquiries
Have an instrument you'd like to discuss?
Whether the question is a single cipher, a failing action, or the future of an organ in a closing building, we are glad to talk it through.
