'''Kegg Pipe Organ Builders''' is a manufacturer of [[pipe organ]]s based out of [[Hartville, Ohio|Hartville]], [[Ohio]], U.S.A.

The company was founded by [[Charles E. Kegg]] in 1985.  Kegg had previously worked with a number of organ building firms, including [[Casavant Frères]].  He worked on organs of a wide variety of sizes, from four stops up to over 100 stops.

Kegg founded his own company out of a desire to provide electric action instruments that are mechanically innovative and tonally well designed.  His company's philosophy when it comes to instruments is to build organs that are "American" in character instead of copying other older styles.

Since the founding of the company, Kegg has produced over forty instruments.  His company also has been involved in restoring instruments — for example by making replacement consoles and restoring historic organs, especially [[M.P. Moller Pipe Organ Company|Moller]] and [[Aeolian-Skinner|Aeolian]] player organs and [[Welte-Mignon#Welte Philharmonic Organ|Welte Philharmonic organs]].
