 Service and Tuning
We approach the pipe organ as both a musical
instrument and a machine. As a machine, we realize that external elements
affect the operation of the organ. Temperature, humidity and pollution
cause problems with tuning, operation and tone quality. Our service
technicians inspect each component of the organ from the blower to the
pipes. Adjustments are made to correct any wayward mechanisms. Pipes are
tuned and any tonal deviations are corrected. If a problem is noted that
requires repairs, it is reported to the customer so that corrective
measures can be authorized. Service and maintenance agreements are
offered in one, two or three visits per year. Other arrangements are also
available. We also offer service on an as needed basis. Our goal is to
provide the customer with a reliable instrument that will serve for
generations.
Special Services
 Facade Refinishing
The one element that identifies your instrument as a
pipe organ is the pipe facade. These large pipes, often from the Great
Principal or Open Diapason, were often painted with a gold paint that
deteriorated over time. The result is dull, splotchy pipes that have
little visual appeal. Sometimes the pipes are painted when the church is
redecorated and end up blending into the surrounding walls. Poor handling
by painters and maintenance personnel often results in unsightly dents.
Lima Pipe Organ Company, Inc. has developed a process for restoring your
facade pipes. Pipes are structurally repaired and painted with an
automotive lacquer paint. The result is beautiful organ pipes that will
last for generations.
Cleaning
Almost
every surface of a church receives some type of cleaning on a regular
basis. The one exception is the pipe organ. Generations often pass
before the components of the organ are thoroughly cleaned. Dust and soot
often build up to the point that the tonal character of the pipes is
affected. Dirt in the mechanism can lead to ciphers or dead notes. The
technicians at Lima Pipe Organ Company, Inc. are equipped to thoroughly
clean your pipe organ. From cleaning and painting the floor and walls to
washing and polishing the pipes.
