PROJECTS
Examples of my work
When it comes to making labial pipes, I rise to every challenge. I make metal whistles up to 16' in length.
It doesn't matter whether it's modern construction methods, historical reconstructions or the restoration / revision of labial pipes.
About me
My goal is to learn as many intonation features as possible to incorporate into the making. These include, above all, the core gaps, cutting heights and foot openings. This shortens the intonation times and later traces of processing are reduced.
I run my company on my own responsibility. This means that every agreement with you will be implemented by me personally.

Manufacture and restoration of organ pipes
New construction of all
labial pipe register
In the restorations I try to keep as much of the old material as possible. Mouths are carefully repaired, the seams are thoroughly checked or repaired. Each individual core is checked for strength and re-soldered if necessary. If the deformity is severe, the upper and lower labia are straightened and aligned. My aim is to bring the pipes back to the best possible original condition.

CREDENTIALS
What customers say
We are always happy to work together with the organ pipe maker Albrecht Haasemann. There is a deep understanding of the tonal characteristics of organ stops and the craftsmanship of an exceptionally high-quality realization. Especially in the reconstruction or copy of historical organ pipes, a detailed approximation of the original is the focus. It is always fascinating that the pipes sound right after they have been cut - without any violent intervention. We are very pleased that the handmade quality "Made in Saxony" is traditionally still at home in Gottfried Silbermann's "Organ country".
For several years we have been working with great pleasure with the pipe maker Albrecht Haasemann. The pipes built by him (inner pipes but also front pipes in all sizes 16, 8, 4 and 2 feet) are of great quality, have dimensional accuracy, the right material thickness, the desired cuts - it is a pleasure to intonate these pipes. Of course, such pipes have their price, but it is really justified.
The design of the whistle is decisive for an individual sound. Albrecht Haasemann manufactures the pipes exactly according to the desired parameters. Whether labia length, pipe overbite, core gap width, cutting height, everything in accurate, technically perfect execution. On top of that, the surfaces of the pipes are beautifully made.
