David has a long list of clients he visits throughout the year.
An organ which plays well is a pleasure to the owner and the listener alike. David charges a fair price for work performed on instruments either in his workshop, or on location. He's always delighted to welcome new instruments into his care.

David travels around the UK with his 'workshop on wheels'. Many clients choose to have tuning done at his workshop meaning noise can be made without upsetting your neighbours!

SOUNDING AT ITS BEST

With David's experience and knowledge, he can bring the best out of your instrument, whatever the size, age and make. He only promises to do what is necessary, and at a fair price.
Essential
Maintenance is so important and can save you money in the long run. Most of David's clients have a yearly check up and tune, meaning the organ plays at it's best for the coming year ahead.
Experience
After working full time in Organ Building for the last 25 years and serving an apprenticeship with
​J Verbeeck of Belgium, David has the knowledge, experience and initiative.
Equipped
David has the workshop space to take on big projects. The Oktoberfest Organ was lifted up to the 1st floor of his workshop, giving him the space to thoroughly dismantle and restore.

reliable organs

​David maintains the two organs at the world famous Blackpool Pleasure Beach. These have to play all day, right into the evening on their original cardboard book system.

These organs must be reliable and work faultlessly for 12 months. Watch the video to see the story of it's three part restoration.

reviving the old

This beautiful 101 Key Mortier Dance Organ has been in the Cowell Family for many years. 

Recently David spent a day doing some on site maintenance to give it a new lease of life. The organ was adjusted and tuned and sounded good as new in no time! Surprising what can be sometimes done without the need for major work.

moving instruments

This 110 Key Organ, rebuilt by Verbeeck in the early 90's, was recently totally dismantled and reassembled into a new lorry body.

This mammoth task also gave the opportunity to access some 'hard to reach' parts of the organ for essential maintenance and releathering.

QUALITY AT A FAIR PRICE

David prides himself on the quality of his work and the fair price he charges.
