The expertise of the Kohler Liebich Company was epitomized in their production of Organ Stops for Theatre & Church organs.  Before the creation of electronic synthesized organs, the only way to produce different sounds in an organ were to physically connect the instruments to the organ.  While many people are familiar with pipe organs, there were a variety of other instruments used to product sounds in the pre-electronics era.

An "organ stop" was the slide/tab on the organ that directed either electric signals or compressed air to the strikers on the instruments.  The Kohler-Liebich Liberty Chime company did not manufacture organs or the striking mechanisms; their wooden and metal percussion bars were so well tuned that they were purchased separately and installed in the organ stops produced by other companies.
