(Ad Majorum Dei Gloriam)

Welcome to the Silver Octopus Studios website. 
We offer complete solutions for Hauptwerk installations including consultation and advice, design and planning, hardware and software plus final installation and tonal finishing. To our knowledge there is no other company that covers every single aspect of a Hauptwerk solution from one source. 

What makes us unique is that in addition to the facilities listed above, we also create our own sample sets which are available to anyone using Hauptwerk. This includes initial on site sampling of a given pipe organ through to the finished library or individual stops that can be used with any Hauptwerk set-up.** 

Our sample sets are suitable for church installations as well as those that are designed be used in the home. They are used worldwide in instruments ranging from the simplest continuo / box organ up to large five manual installations. In addition to complete bespoke organ sets, our individual stop samples are designed to blend in seamlessly with existing or new organ pipes in hybrid instruments. Our customers include pipe organ builders from around the world who have been using our stop samples for many years.

We have over forty years of experience working with both pipe organs and their pipeless counterparts and whilst Hauptwerk is a relatively recent development in the field of pipeless instruments, we were amongst the first to start developing pipe organ sets for this exciting and revolutionary technology.

Please navigate around the site using the various buttons to find further details of the many products and services that we offer.

* A.M.D.G. and L.D.S. are part of a tradition in Jesuit schools. Every piece of written work should commence with AMDG and finish with LDS. In common with other abbreviations, they have rather irreverent alternatives such as; "All Men Drink Gin" and "Ladies Do Sometimes".

** Some sample sets may not work with basic older versions of Hauptwerk or the entry level version of the new Hauptwerk V and VI because these editions do not include some of the features that are necessary for our libraries to work fully on the Hauptwerk platform.
