| This instrument before restoration was
unplayable and looking pretty sad. Stop faces and spindle caps
were missing, the reed chest was split, pedal webbing gone,
bellows cracked and many notes would not even sound when
tested. |

View of finished project with new stop faces
and spindle cap fabricated to replace missing ones. New bellows
cloth and flap valves installed on the resevoir and exhausters in
the wind supply. Reeds were cleaned, tuned and voiced. New
webbing and period fabric was installed on the pump pedals. The
stop action was refelted and repaired, and regulated. This organ
was easy to play again! |
