About Us
Our History
Established in 1970 and located in Warrensburg, Missouri, Quimby Pipe Organs, Inc., began as a tuning and maintenance firm, and developed into one of the premier organ building firms in the country. Our goal is to blend general contemporary American ideas with our own conception of what an organ should be, based on extensive research into the organ-building traditions of the past. Our first comprehensive new pipe organ was built in 1987 and consisted of three-manuals and 42 ranks. Since that installation, we have built pipe organs of all sizes, from small two-manuals up to our current magnum opus of five-manuals and 155 rank.
Our Product
Each instrument is custom planned, engineered and voiced for its own unique acoustical and liturgical setting. An added goal is to provide a visually attractive instrument that compliments the architecture of the building in which it is located. New organs feature Quimby Pipe Organs’ Blackinton-style electro-pneumatic slider windchests, allowing the pipes to speak clearly and practically instantaneously. Our instruments are designed to be “service-friendly” – to allow for easy access for tuning and maintenance, giving dependable and reliable service for many generations to come. Though some of our instruments are very large, built for prominent churches, we also pride ourselves on being able to tailor our instruments to suit the needs of smaller churches with limited budgets.
