We supply and service digital church and theatre organs and midi devices from the Allen Organ Company. Allen Organs are a cost effective alternative to a pipe organ - providing an instrument that needs minimal maintenance and never needs tuning. WHY CONSIDER AN ALLEN ORGAN? Click here to find out.
Allen Organs have been installed in more than 50 churches and buildings within Western Australia and in Perth, ranging from self contained two manual models to three manual instruments with large audio systems and midi expansion devices. Here's where.
We also are agents for the exciting range of Suzuki digital pianos and keyboards. Check out the Studio Instruments webpage for more details.
Organ music, organ videos, and organ recordings on CD and cassette are also available. Check out the music page.
Need some organ playing tips? We are not qualified teachers, but can offer instruction and help based on a lifetime of playing church organ music.

• One of the advantages of a digital instrument is the ability to relocate it with a lot more ease than a pipe organ. Over Easter, we had two requests to hire organs, to be used to accompany Easter presentations. The first event was the Chrism Mass to be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Thornlie. This is a huge event in the Catholic calendar and was well attended on the night of Tuesday, 8th April, 2009. Pictured is Jacinta Jakovcevic, Director of Music and Principal organist for St Mary's Cathedral, Perth, practicing the Renaissance 230 model Allen organ after delivery on the preceding Monday of Holy Week.
Metro Church in Beaufort Street, Perth also hired an Allen organ to accompany the choir for their Easter Sunday service. On this occasion they used our MDS-2 organ, which was played by Mr Dudley Bastian.
• About 20 organ enthusiasts joined us on a very cold July afternoon for the Organ Society of WA's "Digital Organ Crawl". Starting at St Joseph's Catholic Church in Subiaco, we were entertained as organist Michael Peters ably demonstrated the two organs housed in that building. We discovered the best location in the church was in the organ loft; the sun shining through the beautiful stained glass window was pleasantly warm. We then moved to St Mary's Anglican Church in South Perth, which has a near new Protege organ fitted with Vista. Some time was spent exploring the variety of voices as well as the sound effects available from this instrument. Then we moved on to St Peter's Anglican Church in Victoria Park, where there are two MDS instruments, one 2 manual and the other 3 manual. More organ playing ensued, including a couple of impromptu duets. Then it was back to the Allen Organ Studio for afternoon tea, and a short recital by Milton Smith, organist from Perth Baptist Church. The afternoon was an enjoyable tour around a variety of digital organs.
• World Youth Day was a great success in Sydney, with nearly half a million in attendance at Randwick Racecourse. For such a huge occasion only a 3-manual Allen organ could be considered fit to accompany the liturgical settings for that grand event. The same thing happened in Perth back in 1986 when the Allen organ from St Joseph's Church, Subiaco was used to accompany the Mass conducted by His Holiness Pope John Paul II.
In the United States similar events took place in April last year.
