Institute of British Organ Building
Holmes & Swift logo
Established 1978, Holmes & Swift Organ Builders remains a family run business where personal service and quality of work are of prime importance. As members of the Institute of British Organ Building, our skills are officially recognised in four categories. Visit the IBO Website to read what they say about us - click on the IBO image above.

Based in Fakenham, near the beautiful North Norfolk coast, much of our work is in local churches, where we have become noted as experts in the authentic restoration of historic organs. Whilst Restoration is our primary interest, we also undertake rebuilding of non-historic instruments, with soundly judged tonal schemes and reliable new key actions.

Scheduled tuning and maintenance contracts take us to many parts of East Anglia, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, as well as North London. However to mark our 30th year we have decided to launch this website to offer our services to a wider market.

We also repair and renovate associated instruments such as Reed Organs (also known as American Organ or Harmonium), Player pianos, Barrel Organs and musical clocks.

Our site is still under construction, so you should find something new on each visit. Meanwhile we look forward to your enquiries or comments
