peterdoughty Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Well, this is sad news. Apparently they declared bankruptcy. 😔 https://www.lavenir.net/cnt/dmf20201124_01531643/faillite-pour-la-manufacture-d-orgues-thomas I have never heard any of their work in person, but the final CD in Bernard Foccroulle's Buxtehude set is played on one of their smaller instruments in Hoogstraten, Belgium. An utterly beautiful organ sound. https://www.orgues-thomas.com/orgues/neufs/HOOGSTRATEN-Sint-Katharinakerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveHarries Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 A pity. Presumably the partnership (with Klais of Bonn and Zych of Poland) on the organ at St. Elizabeth, Wroclaw was not keeping them busy enough. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Cooke Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 There is a very insightful comment about this on this facebook site - https://www.facebook.com/groups/355269498442029/?fref=mentions - by Andrew Caskie of Nicholson Organs. I've lost it at the moment but it's there somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Beasley-Suffolk Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 This may be of interest. Orgues Thomas has been acquired and re-started, with just 5 of the previous 14 employees.

Hopefully their partnership on the Wroclaw organ will restart too. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
