Organ Casework

2

To our valued customer;Our mission at Oberstütz Orgelbau is to bring the majestic visual

presence of pipes and casework to the already majestic aural presence

of your digital pipe organ. From simple flats of pipes with grille cloth

to gilded-cherub crowned towers, our goal is to help you create a

sculptural and architectural focal point to enhance the musical

authority of your instrument.

Presented in this Casework Brochure is a representation of our

casework capabilities along with general price ranges for 2015. Prices

are given in ranges as there are many variables: wood species, finishes,

ornamentation, speaker accommodations along with installation and

mounting considerations.

We encourage you to think in modular terms, that is, visualize your

project in units of pipe flats and towers. Our facades are built as

separate modules (flats/towers) to facilitate shipping and installation.

A very effective case can be created with 3 modules.

We also include, for your inspiration, images of great pipe organs

from around the world. This section is intended as a stylistic frame of

reference for exploring your architectural preferences.

We welcome your inquiries and look forward to working with you.

Let us create drawings (pdf) for you; we need only general ideas of

what your stylistic preferences are, some dimensions and your financial

parameters. If you can imagine it, we can build it.

Historical Casework

When envisioning a facade project for your venue, allow your imagination to

soar Shown above are some truly inspiring examples of exuberantly painted

doors, pipes and casework, all of which are distinct possibilities to be

translated into low-relief, modular facades. Pipes and casework can also be

aged and distressed to take on the wonderful character of 15th century organs.

We contract with muralist / faux painter Skip Dydra and other craft persons

whose talents exponentially expand your creative options.
