Beautiful job of voicing Andrew you really are the expert 👍

[@russelljackson2382]

I don’t know who the voicer is but I love his accent. I’m also from Durham but lived in the south from 18 years old, then moved to the US where I’ve been for the last 27 years. God only knows what I sound like these days!

Hi

[@jamesp8391]

Do you guys make all of your own pipework?

[@jamesp8391]

We all know that doesn’t mean they still do lol. Many of the so called “famous” organ builders of the world have begun to outsource pipework in certain places to cut down on labor costs and save time.

[@jamesp8391]

Harrison in my eyes has always been a symbol of excellence and quality. I was merely curious to see if they still made all their pipework because let’s face it, skilled labor is expensive, and sometimes (not always if your shop is big enough with enough guys working) it’s a little cheaper when the labor cost is someone else’s problem who focuses all their attention on making pipes.

@@jamesp8391 Harrisons make their own pipework. They have a very large workshop in Durham England where all the organs are made. For more information here is the official website: www.harrisonorgans.com/ The number of organ builders in England is relatively small, but as far as I'm aware they all make their own pipework. Each organ builder have their own traditions in terms of voicing and scaling, for instance a Harrison tuba stop is voiced in a different way compared to a Hill tuba. In England at least, 'outsourcing' of pipework is inconceivable, except where more than one organ builder may be involved in a large scale project.
