Noack Organ Company, Inc.

EACH NOACK ORGAN is an individual entity, designed and built for the specific needs of its own setting.  And yet, all Noack organs are the result of our commitment to superb quality in concepts, design, and workmanship.  We believe it to be our task to use our clients' resources efficiently, to the end of creating beautiful and lasting instruments that serve their owners' needs and traditions well.  Ongoing study of the finest works of the art of organ building in America as well as in Europe supplies us with fresh ideas and helps us deepen our knowledge.  Each of our organs reflects in its own way added experiences and fresh thoughts gained from such research.

The workshop opened in 1960 with the stated goal of building first-rate organs.  In most instances that meant building organs with tracker action, a clear break with tradition at that time.  Wherever possible, a freestanding hardwood case has been employed, but in some instances existing chambers were adapted successfully.  Materials have always been the finest obtainable, with solid hardwoods and tin/lead alloys being preferred over plywood and zinc.  As we measure growth not in terms of size but quality, the staff of The Noack Organ Company has consistently numbered only about seven highly motivated and capable people.  More than a dozen organ builders, including the principals of some of America's other artistically leading firms, have received their training here.  The present staff members have an average of over sixteen years of experience in building fine organs.

Today we look back proudly onto forty-seven years of organ building and an opus list of over 150 organs in all parts of the United States, as well as Japan and Iceland.  Ahead of us, we see a bright future of building ever more refined organs.
