Welcome to Makin Organs
The English organ has a very special sound of its own that is loved and appreciated throughout the world. Since 1970, Makin Organs Ltd has based its business on reproducing this sound for the benefit of countless churches. Makin specialises in the production of totally bespoke instruments in the Westmorland Custom series of organs and has taken the realism of a pipeless instrument to a new level with the sound and touch of an English pipe organ.
Makin also produces three standard models of organ, the Westmorland Village, the Westmorland Jubilee and the Westmorland Sapphire which are designed for people who want to buy a quality off the shelf instrument at an excellent price. All Makin organs use samples taken from English pipe organs.
Makin is the sole UK importer of the Johannus range of instruments with models from one to four manuals in size.
Custom Organ, English Sound, English Specification - Look no further
We use the best in sampled technology with every note of every stop being a separate sample or recording taken from an English pipe organ. This is a massive step forwards when all other systems typically use 4 or 5 samples for each individual stop rather than 61 and often don't even use English samples. Since Sampling is so much better and far more realistic, we do not use any mathematical modelling techniques where sounds approximating to organ pipes are generated by complex computer algorithm which can never deliver the realism of an actual pipe being recorded. Indeed simple physics proves that this is an intractable problem.
Our customers have said that Makin is now really in competition with pipe organ builders and not other electronic organ manufacturers due to the level of sound realism and flexibility from this advanced technology.
The key to a good installation is to build an instrument to suit the location in which it will be situated and for the function it will be used. We build a broad range of instruments from home practice to church organs of varying sizes through to large concert organs. We always endeavour to produce the right instrument for each individual customer.
Makin’s after sales service is second to none, we know so because our customers tell us. For example we offer a 10 year warranty on all parts and labour on all Makin instruments. You don’t buy a Makin organ, you invest in one. Why not take the first step to join our family today?
