Steeped in the traditional school of fine English flue and reed work, each of our highly skilled pipe makers will help you create the pipework you want. With over 70 years combined experience Terry, and our foreman George Fowler, will personally inspect all work before delivery to you.
Through a painstaking process in the refinement and modernisation of older methods, Shires Organ Pipes Ltd combines a superior hand-crafted quality with an affordable service. We have nurtured an enviable reputation for outstanding pipework with a steadfast commitment to craftsmanship, value and punctual delivery. In short, pipework you can rely on.
The staff of Shires Organ Pipes have considerable and wide-ranging experience in matching alloys and adding impurities such as copper, antimoney, silver and other trace elements. We can faithfully reproduce the styles of any period for historical and restoration work. Whether for a single pipe, part or all of a complete stop our precision is second to none. From the North German style of Schnitger, through major British builders such as Hill and Willis, to the past masters of North America. Our attention to your detail will be exemplorary.
We can provide a full range of angle variation on the languid bevel, as well as any mouth width or design. On larger stops pipe feet are reinforced for added strength or cast toes soldered to old collapsed pipe feet. All Shires flue and reed pipework will always have benefitted from unequalled attention to the structure of its mouth or block area. Voicers will immediately recognise the opportunity to focus their skills on the timbre and balance rather than exert disproportionate effort in trying to coax speech.
When you decide to include Shires organ pipes as part of your pipe organ work, you really are making a sound choice. |
