Finally Having A Pipe Organ Repair

By Kevin Scott


Count Dracula is known to be one of the classic monsters ever known by human kind. He is the lord of all living vampires. Everyone knows what vampires do and that is the need to feed on human blood. That is what they basically do as their job. Now for Count Dracula though, when he has enough of it, he has another hobby. That hobby is playing a musical instrument. But one night, he could not play it and decided to call the handyman to know more on pipe organ repair North Carolina.

This kind of instrument is usually found on old churches. They are the old version of pianos and keyboards that we all know. But what makes them different from the two is they are much bigger and have tubes at its back. This instrument is an antique and not much is produced of it anymore.

Now the count is not very familiar with the services. So he humbles down and tries to hold off his instincts and called a handyman to come over so that he would have an idea what needed to be fixed. After his call, this service person arrives with a positive vibe, not even realizing that he is facing a monster, and does his job.

After doing so, he concluded that the musical instrument was already dirty and had dust and cobwebs that prevents it from playing. Now being in a haunted mansion and all, it is not a surprise that dust have been accumulated. The job of Igor was not to clean but rather to assist the count in his daytime activities so it will not be a wonder why it is dirty.

Aside from the dust, he also mentions that pipes need of replacing. He slowly explains that as the years have gone by, pipes especially those that are made with tin and alloy are very delicate and an oxide layer may have stiffened them up. Being over a hundred years old in the mansion without maintenance could be another problem.

He found some of keyboard pieces also not producing any sound anymore and needs replacing, too. This is probably due to the constant use of playing. The mechanisms must have dislocated itself from being used too much. Just like a regular piano, a key is connected to hammer like device that hits a string to produce the sound except this produces wind.

Other than the keyboard, the foot pedals also need restoring. The uses of each pedal have specific functions. The first one is called the soft pedal, the second is practice pedal and the third is a damper pedal. From the word soft, it softens the sound. The practice sustains it while the damper for resonance.

Now to end it, part of this repair is by rebuilding or relocating that instrument. It could be that all the parts are already too old to function or the place where it is standing is the nuisance. When this is done, there will be an improvement to its quality.

All that the service person have said were just some of repairs that can be done. He was able to bring extra tubes, keyboard buttons and pedals in his service truck parked outside. After how many hours, Count was able to play again his beautiful masterpiece and thanked the person by not sucking his blood.
