We know who we are.

John-Paul Buzard, Founder and President
John-Paul Buzard, President and Artistic Director

We are artists and engineers,

dreamers and pragmatists,

thinkers and perfectionists,

all committed to building the

best pipe organs in the world.

We love to share our passion for our work with you. From the day we begin working with you, until the day we have finished voicing your new instrument, you will be impressed by how this love translates into building you the best pipe organ possible.

Our team of experienced crafts persons is well versed in the languages of woodworking and finishing, metalworking, organ pipe making and voicing, and all the trades which come together to make a well-rounded organbuilder. Your instrument will come to life through my artistic vision, the solid engineering know-how of Charles Eames, the tonal suavity and refinement brought to each organ by Brian Davis, and the labors lavished upon the instrument by my staff of 15 persons.

Our pipe organs represent real musical and financial value, no matter what economy we find ourselves in. Engineered and built to last for 100 years, and backed with a solid long-term warranty, our instruments will stand the test of time, becoming a permanent investment in your ministry, your educational institution, or concert venue.

Our firm is also committed to providing our talented and hard-working staff with salaries and benefits which can afford a measure of dignity in modern daily living. We provide health care, dental care, long and short term disability and life insurance, as well as an employer contributive 401(k) retirement plan. The cost for these benefits, considered essential in other professions, and provided by the governments of our foreign competitors, is included in the cost of our American instruments.

I can personally guarantee that one of our church organs will be a great asset in your evangelism, that congregational singing will explode through the roof, and that our instrument will be a perfect investment in your ministry. I can also guarantee that you will enjoy the entire process when you commission a Buzard Pipe Organ, and that we will develop life-long friendships, from contract signing through installation and voicing!

The Buzard Sound

Prelude on Rhosymedre, Vaughan Williams, on Buzard Opus 26

Our firm's individual tonal style is characterized by warmth and pervasive energy of tone, secured by generous scaling of the pipes, precise, solid pipe-making, and historically informed and innately musical voicing techniques. Tonal Director Brian Davis carefully designs and voices each stop to blend with the others to produce a cohesive musical ensemble, and smaller ensembles within ensembles.

The Buzard Look

Opus 23
Opus 14
Opus 32
Opus 11
Opus 27

When we commission a work by an architect, sculptor, painter or stained glass artisan, we expect each of these individuals to bring a special discipline to the design and execution of each new instrument. When you build an organ, you should expect that too.
