History

Since 1984
 

Founded in 1984 by Daniel Laliberté and Stéphane Payment, the company has had the privilege of working on thousands of pipe organs in Canada and United States. With strong demand for new instruments and for the restoration of historical organs, Laliberté-Payment enjoys a solid reputation, built on quality, creativity, and personalised service. Laliberté-Payment is a leader in the field, and a mark of guaranteed satisfaction in all things related to pipe organs, — as demonstrated by a full range of products produced according to the highest standards set by organ builders' associations. All our craftsmen have been trained in the spirit of compagnonnage.

Renowned for their superb tonal finishing through voicing, they have researched and travelled extensively, particularly in Europe and the United States, where they worked on both modern and historic organs in several voicing and scaling schools. In tandem with organists, they can produce all types of tonal design.
