Trained as a musical instrument maker, Steven Cheyne-Cook has built fourteen pipe organs under the name S. R. Cook Pipe Organs. In addition, Cheyne-Cook is a skilled rebuilder of older pipe organs. He offers tuning and maintenance services for pipe organs across the U.S.

All components of his organs are built in his shop. This includes keyboards, cases, all pipes, action components, and even crafting the pipe metal from tin and lead ingots. His organs are of the tracker or mechanical action type, based on 300 year old European organ building methodology with modern adaptations for reliability.


Casting pipe metal

Note the stock of ingots below the casting table, ready to replenish the molten pot as sheets of metal are cast. The sheet appears mirror like when freshly cast, then hazes over as it cools and crystalizes. The finished pipes can be burnished for a highly polished look, as in the top photo.
