L & J KLEIN Orgel-Metallpfeifenbau

Organ and metal pipes since 1962

1962

On 1 October 1962, Paul Klein, together with Leo Klein, his son, founded Klein Orgel-Metallpfeifenbau, based in Kassel. Two years later, Leo Klein completed his craftsman’s exam as an organ builder. This paved the way ahead for the firm.

1967

Qualitatively high-grade work and individual customer preferences are our specialties. This aspect coupled with a high demand meant that the workshop in Kassel soon became too small. We then expanded. To meet the demands associated with the firm’s growth and production of metal pipes, we moved into a new building in Calden, 15 km away, in 1967.

This expansion also saw us becoming an accredited training institute. Over the years, this 55-year-old company has employed between four and nine salaried staff.

1986

In 1986, Paul Klein handed over his post as managing director to Leo Klein.

1999

The family tradition was continued when, in 1999, management was extended to include Jens Klein, Leo Klein’s son.

The L + J Klein Orgel-Metallpfeifenbau company name arose.

2013

Since 2013, Jens Klein, representing the family’s third generation, has been managing the company on his own.

We are specialists in making flue pipes in the old craftsman’s tradition

Overview of our work and services:

  • Manufacturing flue stops up to 16‘ long
  • Manufacturing blocks for reed stops including turning
  • Manufacturing tongue resonators up to 8‘ long
  • All-in restoration of flue stops
  • Traditional sand casting

    Draw blades and smoothing plates are used to manually finish the cast plates.

We cover the entire manufacturing process. In our own foundry, we produce every type of alloy. In so doing, we process several tons of tin and lead every year.

Along with production and restoration, we also provide installation and repairs on the spot – if not otherwise possible for logistics reasons.

As such, we have undertaken comprehensive restoration work on prospect flutes in South Korea and in Rome over the past few years.

We are more than willing to fulfil specific requests, such as gold-plating flues of prospect flutes.

Do get in touch with us if you have any specific requirements.

We offer quality and precision worldwide

Over the 55 years of our organ-building undertaking, we have developed into specialists for traditional craftsman-made flue pipes. This extensive track record and our successful work also enable us to implement our customers’ individual requests.

In this way, we have acquired a worldwide clientele – something which we can be proud of! Our export connections extend from Holland, Sweden, Norway and Poland through to Japan and South Korea.

Reconstruction of the flue pipes in Breslau very much reflects the effectiveness and quality of our work. The organ is 17th century in origin and has been extensively restored. Enthusiasm for our work is demonstrated in comparable projects in Oslo and Helsingborg.

We are more than ready to oblige at any time should you require further information. Our maxim reads: We can do a lot, but not everything. Just contact us!
