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-sixth 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. |
