Established over 30 years ago, 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, UK, 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 pipe organs. Whilst restoration is our speciality, we also undertake rebuilding of non-historic instruments, with soundly judged tonal schemes and reliable new key actions.

Tuning and maintenance contracts for church organs take us to many parts of the country including East Anglia, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, as well as North London.

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

Can we help you? - We understand that too much technical detail is unnecessary to many people who are simply looking for someone to fix their church organ. The answer to most queries, regardless of geographical location is yes we can; - if you need advice please go straight to our Contact page.

A list of some of the more everyday organ work we do:

We now advertise in Choir & Organ Magazine. The current advertisement, shown right, features the 1857 Bevington organ in Hilborough church, Norfolk, restored by us in 2008. This intriguing instrument features original casework styled to closely resemble the 1630s Christian Smith organ at Staunton Harold in leicestershire. Sound recordings (before restoration) can be found here.

Our site is being created in-house as time permits. (last updated 24th August 2010), so you should find something new on each visit. Meanwhile we look forward to your enquiries or comments.
