As descendants of Frans Decap, one of the brothers of the “Gebroeders DECAP Antwerpen” company formed in 1902, we are part of the current generation of “Decap Herentals”. While in awe of what the previous generations accomplished, our mission goes beyond preserving our cherished legacy. We are committed to the identity of the DECAP sound but at the same time will leave no stone unturned to improve the quality and user-friendly operation of our organs. Like our forefathers, we are fully aware that future success lays in understanding the needs of today’s customers, which is the reason the DECAP company has survived over a century where all others perished. Our dedication is a testament to our respect for our heritage, while also positioning us at the forefront of organ building evolution.
Step into a world where engineering marries artistry. Our creations, ranging from bespoke orchestrions to sophisticated automated instruments, stand as a testament to our dedication to innovation and musical excellence. Each piece echoes with precision, passion, and a unique tale of design prowess. Explore the harmony of technology and sound, and witness the future of musical craftsmanship.
We specialize in crafting custom orchestrions tailored to your unique sound. For those seeking ready-to-play marvels, our standard automated instruments await. These instruments are managed through computer-controlled systems using MIDI. While they possess the capability to perform autonomously, they can also be interconnected with other DECAP instruments or orchestrions. This facilitates the creation of a comprehensive orchestra or enables them to harmonize seamlessly with an orchestrion.
Dive into a musical journey with our Decap-Virtual-Orchestrion. Seamlessly interfacing with our instruments, this advanced midi/audio/video player represents the essence of the DECAP legacy. This player not only echoes the beauty of our physical orchestrions, but also makes DECAP orchestrions accessible for those without the physical instruments.
Since the dawn of organs, an important part of the sound generation has been carried by its collection of pipes. These aren’t just ordinary tubes, they’re the acoustic heart that give organs their powerful voice, turning the subtle flow of air into melodies, either whisper softly in flute-like tones, or proclaim loudly with a brassy resonance. In our workshop, the age-old craftsmanship of wooden pipe making has been married with the precision of CNC machines to get the best of both worlds: tradition and high precision.
Together, let us orchestrate a harmonious future, where creativity knows no bounds and the art of music reaches new heights.
