Corporate history and philosophy
|
"Of all instruments, none is greater than the organ for
helping one to pray." At Laliberté-Payment, we believe
that an organ company must do more than build and restore
instruments to the level of the eighteenth century masters;
it should promote all the Church's living heritage, and make
it as widely accessible as possible.
Vitam impendere organo is
our credo, that is, to
devote one's life to the organ. We put all our
effort into carrying out this philosophy. Our mission, as
humble as it is, is to perpetuate this tradition for the
benefit of all musicians and religious communities.

Founded in 1984 by Daniel Laliberté and Stéphane Payment,
the company now commands a large share of the Québec market.
With strong demand for quality modern instruments and for
the restoration of historical organs, the company's
expansion into the United States and Europe is now underway.
Celebrating its twenty-seventh anniversary this year,
Laliberté-Payment enjoys a solid reputation, built on
quality, creativity, and personalized service.
Laliberté-Payment is now a leader in the field, and a mark
of guaranteed satisfaction in all things related to pipe
organs, — as demonstrated by more than 550 maintenance
contracts and a full range of products produced according to
the highest standards set by organ builders' associations.

With a full range of specializations and experienced
artisans, the company restores organs with
tubular-pneumatic, electro-pneumatic, tracker, and
direct-electric action. The inclusion of a professional
engineer on its team allows the company to respond to the
new reality of pipe organs by incorporating cutting-edge
technology, such as computerized systems. Renowned for
their superb tonal finishing through voicing and
temperament, they have researched and traveled extensively,
particularly in Europe and the United States, where they
worked on both modern and historical organs in several organ
voicing and scaling schools. In tandem with organists, they
can design and produce all types of historical temperaments.
