Restoration

 
St.Jakobi Lübeck

Restoring an organ is a very special challenge. In a separate department of our workshop we can work on historically valuable instruments or parts thereof, which we are able to submit to levels of relevant humidity and temperature, which are minutely controlled. We have special chambers for wood protection and insect treatment or we cooperate with experts as necessary.

Investigation work in archives and the study of comparable instruments are essential for the restoration of historical organs. Usually this study takes a lot of time, but often the surprising results gained make the effort worthwhile. Archive research involves increasingly extensive work for us, not only in the area of historical organs but also in producing expert reports about more recent instruments. This contact with archives and public institutions often brings us new experiences, which we are able to transfer and use to solve questions raised by other aspects of modern organ building.
