What should you expect?
Rebuilding an organ is appropriate when the needs of the congregation will be best served by making significant mechanical and/or tonal changes and improvements.
1. Releathering
Releathering worn components is the basis for most rebuilding projects. We use time-honored methods, materials of highest quality, and appropriate glues to maintain the integrity of rebuilt components.
2. Individual Components
When necessary, we restore or replace individual components to ensure mechanical reliability. Improvements might include relocation of components to improve accessibility for tuning and maintenance. Often, the entire organ is cleaned.
3. Tonal Changes
Tonal changes and improvements are made to compensate for existing tonal inadequacies, and always include onsite tonal finishing to achieve seamless and cohesive blending of existing and new pipework. Additions are designed both tonally and mechanically to tastefully function within the framework of the original instrument.
Attention to Detail
Every pipe organ rebuilt by Muller Pipe Organ Company receives the high standard of workmanship and attention to detail upon which our reputation is built.
