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.

With
a full range of specialisations and experienced artisans, the company
restores organs with tubular-pneumatic, electro-pneumatic, and tracker
action. 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.
