Steve Dieck, formerly of the American organ builder C B Fisk, contacted us to ask if we could make a two-foot stop for Kusakari san, an organ builder he works with in Japan.

Kusakari san's company, Kusakari Organs, is located in Kobuchizawa,

George Fowler made a sample pipe to the specification of the stop. Mr Kusakari and Steve were delighted with it, as we were asked to make five stops in total!

​They are:
​
  • Nasat 3
  • Flute 4
  • Gedackt 8
  • Terz 1 3/5
  • Octave 2

​It has been a pleasure to make these stops and we are looking forward to working with this company again.
