Old becomes new

Apart from building new organs, we are very much concerned with the restoration of listed organs from all periods.

The completely different methods and the special experience required by such projects has led us to carry out this work separately in our workshops.

Restoration involves:

• Careful inventory and damage assessment
• Original and source research
• Photographic cataloguing
• Accompanying documentation
• Graphic representation
• Questions of materials
• Pitch and temperament

It is thus possible to work to customarily stringent restoration principles, without arbitrarily altering the artistically created entity presented by an historical organ.

As well as restoration, renovation of organs naturally plays an important role. This wide field of work covers everything from simple cleaning to successful 'retrospective' voicing and the complete renovation of organs, especially from the post war era.
