Reuter has been custom fabricating organs for nearly an entire century. They build for clientele who wish to have organs in: churches, department stores, universities, theaters, or even residential areas.
Reuter uses traditional construction methods when creating every organ. From ideation to fabrication, everything Reuter does is 100% custom. Commonly used materials in the organ building process include: Iron, wood led, nickel, leather, brass, copper, computer chips, steel, chalk, bone, tin poplar, goat skin, zinc, walnut, kangaroo skin, oak, etc... the list goes on and on!
As for the pipes themselves, they are all made from hand rolled steel formed on a bed. After the metal is shaped around mandrels, they are soldered together and sent for tuning. Router also does all of the wood working and engraving on every organ! With an entire wood-shop at their disposal, Reuter is one of the few all inclusive companies!
From start to finish Reuter does it all, and I am lucky to say I was able to see how their fine organs are built.
