Létourneau Organs

Located in St-Hyacinthe, Québec, Létourneau organs now boasts one of the best-equipped factories in North America. The workshops provide ideal facilities where all organs are completely designed, constructed, erected and tested prior to shipping and installation.

Facts of Interest:

Taking just over 20,000 man hours of labor to complete the construction of the pipes, frame and case, our new organ consists of 4,335 pipes ranging in all sizes - the largest being almost 20 ft. long and 1 foot in diameter and the smallest pipe will be the size of a pencil.  Some are round, some are square.  Some are metal, some are wood.

The sounds will include trumpets, oboes, flutes, violins, a french horn, and even a harp.  Some of the lowest sounds will be produced by big speakers measuring over 25" in diameter.  These will be felt rather than heard!

Some of the pipes will be straight and some will be hooded at the top (bent over to fit in the case).

A most striking visual and aural feature will be the magnificent Trumpette en-chamade which will be mounted vertically under the Rose Window.  This is a high-powered trumpet which will give breath to festive moments in worship and announce the arrival of numerous brides!
