The Five Usual In A Pipe Organ Repair

By Kevin Scott


We all know that the archenemy of Van Helsing is the classic monster named Count Dracula. He is a mythical creature that resides in Transylvania and is known to be the lord of all vampires. For these creatures to live is to drink human blood. In addition to that, when one is bitten he is also transformed to be a vampire. The count though has another hobby aside from killing people and that is musical instrument playing. One boring night, his instrument was not working properly so he finally has a pipe organ repair North Carolina done.

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.

The handyman the count contacted finally shows up. Luckily he contacted a service company that are able to work at night or even at dawn. Not only that, this person had a positive attitude and is not afraid of the vampire at all. Anyway, included in the service is a check up. Of course before anything else is always a check up.

After happily checking up on this, he told the count that dust that was accumulated could be the problem. Being in a haunted mansion that has no regular cleanliness could definitely cause this instrument to not work properly. Feeling guilty, he then permitted the person to do the cleaning immediately.

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.

One by one, he also checked each key from the board. There were three layers of them and he did not miss one. He again went outside, grabbed a bag from his truck and came back in. He then replaced the defective keys that were not functioning properly like they were hard to press or not producing any sound after pressing.

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.

Irritated yet feeling guilty again, the monster just crossed his arms and asked what else the problem were. With a smile on the face of that handy individual, he also mentions that relocating them would be best to avoid the same mishaps. Relocation of the instrument may improve 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.
