Historic Music Library
No historic instrument is complete without a repertoire of suitable period music. Over many years we have absorbed in to our own archive other companies music patterns as well as our own hence we have been able to amass one of the countries largest libraries of historic patterns for the most common fair organ scales used in England. This includes large quantities of music as supplied by the great Parisian factory markers from firms such as Gavioli, Limonaire, Marenghi, Gaudin and Gasparini. As well as from other notable firms such as J. Verbeeck Islington, Carl Frei, Van Steenput, Aug Schollaert and many more. Our library also includes music suitable for the repertoire of German organs with music from the likes of Gustav Bruder and Carl Frei.

We have our own in house arrangers and when our extensive pattern library doesn't contain the piece of music you require or you want to commision a new arrangement, we are always happy to consult on producing new music customised to best suit your instrument.
