<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
David Wells is Liverpool born and bred. He trained at the Liverpool branch of Henry Willis & Sons Ltd under Henry Willis 4 and specialised as a pipe-maker and voicer.<\/p>\n
In 1981, after twenty-two years wide experience in Organ Building he set up on his own. He soon found that his workload required larger workshop premises and a skilled staff to match and before long he was able to attract some of the best craftsmen in the area to join him.<\/p>\n
The business is a family firm with grandson’s Robbie and Marty Cole, the former having now completed his apprenticeship \u2013 which included time spent with Harrison & Harrison Ltd.<\/p>\n
We have a fine team of 11 organ builders ranging from the long serving experienced to the young and enthusiastic with some 300 years between them.<\/p>\n
This team has built its fine reputation on a commitment to the highest standards of craftsmanship and a painstaking attention to detail. A similarly high standard for the regular care of organs has resulted in number of distinguished clients entrusting their instruments to the company.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www2.dwob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Adrian-Griffiths-2.jpg\")

Wide ranging work on some of the largest and most important organs of the romantic era by builders such as Willis, Harrison and Hill has presented David Wells\u2019 craftsmen with a special understanding of instruments from that period. The company has a growing specialisation in the strict restoration of historically important instruments to those standards expected by the informed conservationists of today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" David Wells is Liverpool born and bred.
