Pipework
All the pipes will be cleaned, the reed stops brought to the workshop for our Voicer’s attention. We will fit tuning slides on Flue pipes where they are missing, in order to protect the pipes from future damage.
Changes to the Pedal “Octave Flute” 4ft. After the work is completed we will regulate all of the pipework in order to reinstate the speech and balance of 1926.
