SERVICES AVAILABLE
 
 

SEASONAL TUNING
Tuning routes are scheduled to offer fall and/or spring tuning.  Services are planned on the basis of seasonal weather changes, fall heat on and spring heat off. Contract rates are offered for set annual budget planning.  Touchup tuning is available for recitals or special events upon advance notice.

REPAIRS
Experience with work on organs built by numerous past and present or;gan builders allows us to find and repair problems of mechanical or electrical origin.  We maintain pipe organs with mechanical, pneumatic, and electric key actions.

TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES
Existing pipe organs often suffer from failing electrical contacts in the pedalboard, keyboards, or pipe valve switching systems.  Solid-state electronic modular upgrades can replace these deteriorating components, and re-establish an instrument for decades.

RENOVATION
Pipes not speaking because of failed leather valves can be brought back to life by releathering wind chests.  Dead notes from electrical failure can be resuscitated with replacement magnets.  Multiple stuck on or dead notes may require an ultimate solid-state upgrade.  A pipe organ need not be replaced to return to its original sound state!
