Thanks to our unique Physis sound generation technology, you can switch effortlessly from English to Baroque or Romantic at the touch of a button and enjoy every style of music imaginable, played with the sound palette the composer originally intended. This is the product of many years experience in the design and manufacture of classical church organs allied with the best craftsmanship in building organ consoles and speaker systems.
