Wakeley Pipe Organs was established in 1998 by Ian & Carmelita Wakeley. From small beginnings in our first workshop in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, we have established ourselves as one of Australia’s leading Organ Building firms, offering the highest standard of work, from historically sensitive restorations through to innovative experimental commissions.
We strive for excellence by fostering a good work ethic throughout our team. We are a dedicated group of artisans committed to producing high quality work with the finest attention to detail.
Our sympathetic approach to the conservation and repair of historic organs has played an important part in the preservation of many organs. Some of these instruments include those found in our portfolio.
Our company is committed to the Tuning, Maintenance and Repair of organs at the highest standard.
Wakeley Pipe Organs is a member of The Organ Historical Trust of Australia, The British Institute of Organ Studies and The Organ Historical Society.
