Tradition

To the present day, three generations in our family have been dealing with complete organ concepts from the first idea all the way to final realization along the lines of the old European organ-building tradition. In our workshop today we employ a staff of 40 people.
Precision

Precise mechanical framing, high sound quality and harmonious architecture require a thoroughly innovative design of the instrument.
Top-of-the-line
Design

At three state-of-the-art CAD sites, our construction engineers design and plan an organ in every detail.
Wood

Living and self-revitalizing, wood has been the most important material in organ manufacturing for hundreds of years. Wood suitably seasoned and specially treated is the decisive ingredient in a top-quality organ.
Precious
material

The frame as well as the tracts with angles and arbors in solid wood are simple yet sophisticated structures. Solid frames in precious wood carry the windchests, the perfect prerequisite for Mayer organs to last for centuries.
Top knowledge

Windchests, frame and wooden pipes require the most different types of wood and designs. From the first cut to the finished surface, our team of organbuilders is familiar with any requirements and construction techniques imaginable.
Intonation

Diapasons calculated to suit the building and an artistic sound body of the pipes, prepared by a committed intonating expert - this is what will make the instrument come alive and turn the workpiece into a work of art.



Tin and Lead

Just like our fathers did, we alloy, cast and hone these materials so traditional in organ building in our workshop. Only then can the organ pipe be cut, shaped and finished. Even in our modern days, the pipe has to undergo many small manual steps up to intonation - to name but a few: it will be cut, measured, widened at the mouth, rolled, aligned, raised, soldered, rinsed, rounded off, joined and polished, and cores will be soldered on.
