Rocheorgel project

Spent much of the day cleaning and lacquering the Gedeckt pipes that will be visible through the facade. So many changes to this little organ that it will be losing its Roche moniker.

Rocheorgel project

Manual pipes in. Many hours of fussing to clean up all the leaks and murmurs. The original builder chose open grain mahogany for the toeboards, which was a very poor choice! At 2" pressure it only takes a slight bleed through the grain to cause pipes to murmur. Work to do on the flute caps.

Rocheorgel project

The new Salicional racked in. Almost double the size of the organ.
