Reeds made by Shires chosen for large new organ by Noak in Washington DC

A CGI of the Noak organ destined for St Peter's, Capitol Hill.

The reeds for a large, new mechanical action organ in the United States are being made in Leeds by Shires Organ Pipes.

The three-manual instrument is due for installation next year in St Peter's Catholic Church, right, on Capitol Hill.

It is under construction in the Noak Organ Company's workshop in Georgetown, Massachusetts.

Our team is making a trumpet 8' for the Great; a chamade 8' for the Choir; a bassoon16', harmonic trumpet 8', oboe 8' and harmonic clarion 4 for the swell; and a trombone 16' and trumpet 8' for the pedal.
