Wooden pipes are tuned
with these “stoppers” inserted on top of every pipe.
Old leather has disintegrated and had to be removed. New packing
was precisely glued on in order to tune the pipes again.

Old pipes after thorough
cleaning and repairs. All windchests and pipe support boards
were cleaned as well.

Old bellows were damaged
beyond reasonable repair – the air was escaping through
countless holes and cracks, making a lot of noise and creating
an unstable wind pressure. Two brand new reservoir bellows were
built and installed in place of the old ones.

Sad picture - an old
wooden pipe with the tuning stopper “fixed” with
…toilet paper! Unfortunately most wooden pipes looked
like this one.

Many metal pipes have
been squeezed and deformed by previous renovators. All pipes
were brought back to their original round shape and placed in
their original locations.

Literally every part
of the organ interior was covered with a thick layer of dust
accumulated over many, many years. All parts and all pipes were
cleaned and restored to a mint condition.

Literally all air conduits
that supply air to the organ pipes were replaced with new wind
trunks.

This is one of the façade
playing pipes. On the right side of the pipe’s mouth a metal
“ear” is missing. Its presence is paramount for proper
sound stabilization. Many defects like this one were repaired,
bringing the entire instrument to a perfect mechanical and tonal
condition.
