Digital Church Organs and Practice Organs

Pipe organ sound from digital organ technology by Cantor Orgelbouw!

Digital church organs from the custom European builder, Cantor Orgelbouw, specializes in digital church organ technology. As custom builders of digital church organs and practice organs, we strive to build organs that meet the demands and tonal requirements of clients requiring a "pipe organ alternative". 

Designed to meet the needs of
traditional worship and discerning organists

Cantor digital church organs are designed to meet the requirements of music and worship in liturgical and traditional church music.  Building digital organs that truly sound like pipe organs requires a clear understanding of pipe organ design, the ability to discern pipe organ speech, organ literature, and reasonable performance skills. Finding all of these qualities is a normal expectation when considering a pipe organ builder. With the average digital organ, these characteristics will be the exception with all but a limited number of custom digital organ builders.  For this reason, Cantor organs are not sold in music stores where local dealers or sales persons, who may be totally lacking in knowledge and experience, are responsible for the final voicing and tonal finishing of your organ.  

Custom digital organs in a variety of styles

Cantor digital organs offer the perfect solution for many applications. Cantor offers custom-built digital organs in a variety of styles and tonal concepts. We strive to build digital organs offering pipe organ realism that you may find actually sounds better than many pipe organs with the exception of the more prestigious pipe organ builders. Our organs are not only suited for churches, chapels and home studio applications, but make an ideal alternative for colleges and universities.  Cantor Positive series is an ideal, realistic solution for practice facilities and applications where space, acoustics, and/or financial resources are an issue.
 

Digital organs based on the latest pipe organ tonal designs

In the United States, it would appear the tonal concepts of typical electronic organ manufacturers have become stagnant with by certain outdated stereotyped sound models and tonal ideas, without regard to the abilities of developing technology available in a particular time period.

Pipe organ builders have evolved to lead the historical research of the 1980’s and beyond which resulted in a reappraisal of organ sound. It became clear that the history of the organ involved an enormous range of artistic concepts, technical designs and sonic ideals. This realization, in turn, strengthened the belief that it is not possible (tonally ) to build an "all purpose" organ, as most electronic manufacturers prefer to claim. With increasing frequency, musicians and churches are turning away from this outdated concept to one that is based more upon tonal principles and designs developed from these studies and historic models.
 

Versatility, sound quality, and tonal distinction


Cantor digital pipe organ models, with their unique design concepts offer traditional organists versatility, sound quality, and historic tonal accuracy never before obtained. Cantor's system is so intuitive that the hardware and digital components are designed to be upgrade-able with forward complete compatibility. This assures that you not only have a superior organ hand-crafted to the last detail, but also have the ability to maintain the latest technology and software applications available.

The digital organ technology used by Cantor to replicate pipe speech is extremely accurate and specialized. It is also much more demanding in terms of the technical requirements and abilities of the organ builder and the person responsible for the organ's proper installation and tonal finishing in the room. These systems are generally used by a limited group of specialized builders and organists whose interests revolve around the pipe organ and building truly musical instruments. For this reason, our organs have the capability  to sound more authentic than mass produced organs who, typically for economic and quality control reasons, employ a much different type of technology.


We offer churches and organists custom digital organs of quality and value.   Unlike many electronic organ companies, Cantor digital organs are not mass-produced based on a common design and shipped to dealer showrooms throughout the country. Much like a quality pipe organ or any other product that is hand crafted, our organs are built specifically for each client, custom designed to their specific tonal requirements, and voiced specifically for each installation.
