Just realised that it almost a year since we added to our page, so here is an update and a few pictures of what we have been up to during the last twelve months.
The big project of the year has been the complete overhaul with a new electric action of the Peter Conacher 1910 organ in Pontypridd Museum. The pneumatic action had suffered from years of high temperatures and very low humidity levels and had reached the stage where it was beyond repair.
We have also cleaned and overhauled the Hunter & Webb c1860 instrument in St Peter Molesey and relaced the swell Oboe stop with a new splendid sounding Trumpet stop made and voiced by our good friends Kevin Rutterford and Michael Blighton.
The HN&B 1980 extension organ in St Anselm Tooting Bec has been cleaned and overhauled.
The Church of the Ascension Southam, a 1867 delightful chamber organ by Bryceson has been cleaned and overhauled ready for the next thirty years of church life.
We have also undertaken some smaller projects such as, Mumbles Baptist Church covering the organ to protect it during building work in the church.
Hertford College Oxford, re leather a failed bellows.
Palmers Green London, Two pneumatic drawstop machines re leathered with new valves.
St Mary Watford, on site repairs to failing leather work on the bellows.
Coychurch Crematorium Wales, repairs to a pipe chest suffering from shrinkage due to high temperatures and low humidity levels.
St Peter Camarthen. Repairs to the Great soundboard after water had leaked through the roof.
All this and of course we still spend a lot of time out on the road with the tuning and maintenance round.
