Thank you for browsing our Gallery! It is designed to show you the elegance and artistry which we put into every project. It’s important to us that every instrument we build or renovate be perfect for the space in which it’s installed. If we have the privilege to design your new organ, you can be assured that it will look as though it had always been there, that it will sound warm and rich, and be a living part of your worship experience for many generations.
When you commission Buzard Pipe Organ Builders for your pipe organ, you’re engaging talented craftsmen and artists to build you a beautiful piece of functional art which will stand the test of time. You’ll enjoy working with us, and we are eager to meet you!
In the gallery, you will find sound samples and stop lists on your left. On your right, you will find thumbnail images of the organs themselves. Click on the thumbnail to get a closer look at the organ in a new window.
To get started, select an organ from the menu above.
In addition to our hosted gallery, one of our service technicians has started his own gallery. We encourage you to view that at http://www.buzcophotos.com/.

From John-Paul: Sometimes great new organs result when materials from older instruments are re-crafted and re-purposed.
