Pipe Organ Restoration

We made a visit today to George Sixsmith and Son Ltd to look at how pipe organs are restored, repaired and built. Andrew Sixsmith has his workshop at Mossley, Tameside, Greater Manchester. Our visit was made with Julian Baum and Claire Duval of Take 27 Ltd who are working on a 3d digital model of George St Chapel, Oldham which has a pipe organ requiring restoration.
We hope to include a digital explanation of how the organ works. Andrew (right) showed us a similar sized organ his team are currently working on, with all the parts laid out before being repaired, cleaned and then re-built.
A fascinating visit.
