Church Organs
Having a high quality English organ in America is no longer unrealistic. The Makin Organs, combined with
a high quality UL speaker system delivers realism and power in churches, chapels, halls and is even the perfect instrument for home practice. As ever we use one speaker per amplifier, so these instruments exhibit an exceptionally high quality range of sound.
Professor Ian Tracey of Liverpool Cathedral has been involved in the design process, including the specification and choice of the most appropriate samples to use from our vast library to deliver that very special sound of a true English organ.

Custom Church Organs
Through the years from our origins with the John Compton organ business, Makin has always strived to deliver the best in terms of both sound and leading edge technology to a very discerning audience of organists, schooled in the English style of organ building.
This great tradition continues today with our Custom range of instruments. Designed and built by organists for organists, these instruments are at the pinnacle of the pipeless organ world with a sound and build quality that simply can’t be beaten, yet at a price that is affordable. We never compromise on sound so rather like a pipe organ which has a separate pipe for every note, we have a separate ‘sample’ for every single note of every single stop. This is why Makin organs are so authentic and indeed so sought after.
