Through our associate Robert Holmes we provide a reliable contract and one-off organ tuning service. The use of a remote controlled 'Orgamat' note holder enables finer tuning results and reduced costs enabling an excellent service at competitive rates.

Many clients have been with us in excess of 20 years - a sure testament to our abilities.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE IS IMPORTANT

We recommend that any organ receives at least an annual visit, although most instruments of two and three manuals may need to be tuned twice a year or more to maintain acceptable tuning.

These visits are important not only from the musical aspect, but also for the smooth operation and preservation of these valuable instruments. This is what will typically take place on a tuning visit:

• Accurately tune pipework as required
  
• Adjustments to the key action to counteract wear
  
• Repairing those niggling faults
  
• Oil and check the electric blower
  
• Inspect for damage to the organ due to woodworm or water
  

Inspection is a particularly important aspect of this service; for example, even a minor water leak from a church roof can soon cause major damage costing several thousand pounds to repair, whereas if slight water staining is seen in time, disaster may be averted.
