Linda Beville, Organist and Choir Director at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Woodstock, VA, USA comments on the recent Makin installation.
I cannot thank you enough for all your support and guidance as our sales representative towards a successful installation of the Makin Thirlmere 2-30 motorised drawstop organ at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Woodstock, VA. The church had an early organ from another manufacturer that was starting to have problems. I accepted the responsibility o...

Customer Mr Lunt of Lichfield comments "I just wanted to put on record huge thanks to you and the rest of the team for the amazing job which you have done in installing the biggest organ in the world into the planet’s smallest room! I knew that the instrument was going to be pretty amazing but I have been stunned by the quality of sound which it delivers in such a small space. To take an extreme example, I’ve been using the tuba stop this morning (the neighbours had been warn...ed!) and it really does sound as if it’s located in a separate division. The depth, subtlety and colour of sounds which the organ can deliver across all divisions are just awesome."
He added "It is an absolute delight to play (the wooden keys, as you predicted, make a massive difference) and I consider myself very fortunate indeed to be the owner of such a superb instrument. As yet there isn’t a queue of friends and acquaintances in the street waiting to have a go – but it can only be a matter of time!"

Hear two Makin instruments do battle with a Continuo instrument and the Cathedral organ

A four manual Makin organ, built to a custom specification as designed by Organ Advisor Dr Bill Stevenson, Professor Ian Tracey, Organist Titulaire at Liverpool Cathedral, and Dr Keith Harrington MD of Makin Organs is being built for Dundee Parish Church (St Mary’s) with installation likely to take place during the summer of 2018. This world-class digital instrument will enable the further development of music in the Church and in the City of Dundee.
Once installed in the org...an gallery, the instrument will be professionally voiced by Professor Tracey and Dr Harrington to ensure that it meets all needs that will be placed upon it. Makin was chosen as the vendor of choice due to the unique British sound of its instruments and its first rate customer service. The Psalmody Convenor at St Mary’s, Kenneth Murray, commented “We are very excited to be moving ahead with a new digital instrument. The current pipe organ has served the Church extremely well for over 50 years, but sadly a vast sum of money would be needed to rebuild it again, a sum that the Church can neither justify nor afford.” He added “The pipes will all be kept in place, and if sufficient finance were to become available in the future, then a full restoration of the pipe organ would be possible.” Dr Keith Harrington, MD at Makin Organs commented, “The new Makin will provide a remarkable palette of sounds suitable for use in normal worship, both for congregational singing and for accompanying the choir”. He added “Its versatility makes it ideal for organ voluntaries during Services but also for concerts and recitals.”
