Know More On 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.

He starts off by cleaning the instrument from bottom to top. He drops to the floor and cleans the pedals, then the keyboard then all of the insides. He had to use a lot of rags to clean because of all the dust that were accumulated for how many years. Not just dust though, cob webs even but he did not kill the spiders, he just transferred them somewhere else.

But the handyman did not end there. He also stated that the alloy or tin tubes of this instrument need to be replaced. He found out that due to its delicate material, he was able to find dents and bumps that changes the sound. Other than that, an oxide layer hardened some of those tubes as well also creating rusts.

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.

When cleaning, he went from down to up, but when replacing, he went the opposite direction. This time he was replacing the pedals. The count never knew what those pedals were for and asked the service individual to start a conversation. While replacing, he explains to the count each of the specific functions the pedals have.

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.

He wiped his sweat and smiled at the count, asking him to play. Still trying to hold back the instincts, he pushed his cape back and sat down. He cracked his fingers and gently placed them on top of the keys. He took a deep breath and then finally hears the soothing music again. Dracula was happy and when he turned around to thank the handyman, that person vanished into thin air.
