Karl Wilhelm Inc.

We, a small group of professional Organbuilders, are specialised
in building mechanical organs of all sizes. The design and
layout of our instruments are in accordance with the principles
of the classical tradition, and contains the basic stop list to
play the classic German and French literature. On our
three-manual instruments, we propose a large swell division,
which is most suitable for the accompaniment of Anglican Church
music, and serves the romantic repertoire as well.

The organ case is designed according to the principle of ''golden
section'' and made of solid white oak. The free spaces above the
pipes are filled with hand carved pipeshades, thus providing an
acoustical function as well as enhancing the visual appearance of
the organ.

The organ is winded by a small electric blower which feeds
''cuneiform'' bellows. Wind is carried to the slyderchests
through well proportioned wooden wind trunks which gives the
music a singing buoyant quality.

The metal pipes are handmade out of a tinlead alloys. Some of
the flute pipes are hammered lead and have soldered-on caps or
are cone-tuned for greater tuning stability and best tone
quality. The voicing is done in the classical manner for natural
speech and mellow blend. Selected woods and other reliable
materials are chosen to ensure lasting quality.
