Installing an organ is no
more difficult than Sebastian Bach once alluded to making music on
the organ. He supposedly said, "Play all the right notes at the
right time, and the organ takes care of the rest."
So, installing an organ is
no more difficult than installing all of the right parts in the
right place and connecting them properly.
This organ is installed
now.
First, we set a firm base for the organ.
This will also hold some of the pipes.
Then, the windchests and related
equipment must be moved into place. Most stairs to the balcony are
designed for people only. We got lucky on this installation. The
windchest passed through the spaces okay.
Set the windchests, and finish the Swell
box.
Add everything needed in the Swell and
install the windchests for the Great.
Install all of the pipes and be sure nothing has
been omitted or put in the wrong place. Add the console, tune the
pipes, and do the tonal finishing to match the acoustics of the room
and worship style of the congregation. Now the organ is ready to
make music. This is typical of what is done for every Temple Organ
client.
The Sound is Everything.
The organs are built to last. Call for consultation
about a new organ, rebuilt organ, expanded organ, or restoration. We
welcome your inquiries.
