After years of standing unnoticed in a vestry, this reed organ was to be refurbished for use in a chapel. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
| Right: The surface needed repolishing, so we disassembled the case as far as possible. |
|

|
|
|
|
| The bellows after removal. Some cracks in the covering and bellows boards had resulted in a number of leaks. |
|
|
|
 |
|
| With a brand new covering, the bellows now brings a new breath of life to the instrument. |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| After all the damages had been repaired, the surfaces polished and the edges re-blacked, we reassembled the case and re-fitted the bellows. |
|
 |
|
|
|
| All free reeds were removed and cleaned as usual, and all the felts were renewed. |
|
|
|
 |
|
| Console assembly. We usually renew not only the reed felts, but also the felts on the octave coupler wedges. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| The felt strips for the keys and the felt guides and stops of the drawstops were also renewed. |
|
|
|
|
Now looking fresh and sounding beautiful, this instrument is ready to perform perfectly in its new surroundings. |
