Tuning.

The ideal temperature to tune an organ at is 17 to 19 degrees centigrade. Once tuned the temperature is noted in the tuning book, and as long as the organ is played at this temperature, it will be in tune. Reed pipes such as Trumpets, Oboes and Clarinets are more susceptible to changes in temperature, so it is vital these are tuned at the temperature they will be played at. Flue pipes such as Open Diapasons, Salicionals and Flutes can tolerate a small fluctuation in temperature.

Maintenance.

General wear and tear can cause uneven keys, intermittent cyphers, wind leaks or squeaks and vibrations. Most of these problems can be addressed during a tuning visit with simple adjustments, oiling or patching.

A tuning & maintenance visit will consist of the following procedures.

Tune all pipework.
Check and regulate all key actions, couplers and drawstop actions.
Clean keys and pedals.
Oil blower.
Attend to any problems reported by the organist.
