Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.
This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.
As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.
In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

organ restoration
- Thread starter JayDee
- Start date
Hi JayDee, I could imagine that some of our members (which includes several organ builders amongst others) have experience with various organ restorations.
But I think you would need to provide some more details about the organ you wish to restore. For example it's current condition, size, type of action (tracker, pneumatic, etc.), location, age, builder, etc. Basically as much as you know about the instrument in question.
Kind regards
Frederik

great! i just wasnt sure if your forum would allow this
type of question.
the organ is a 1902 hinners and albertson
2 manual 61 key
14 rank
27 pedal
mechanical action
all of the exterior wood is in great shape
with little if any altorations and will restore
beutifully. keys are all but perfect.
pipes that i have inspected seem to be fine
but no expert.my first concern is lay-out
and placement of interior parts,as i bought
the organ dismantled. need to acuire info
on how to bring the organ back to original.
the previous owner had made modifications
but didnt supply a list.
thanks j.d.
