A flurry of activity!

At All Souls – the rear wall is sealed by me before being painted over by volunteers from the parish.

In the workshop – the Swell division’s windchest and soundboard are rebuilt and the pipes are refurbished and fitted with new tuning slides (metal sleeves which are moved up and down the top of a pipe to tune it). The windchests for the pedal bass pipes are being remade completely (they could not be refurbished – they were originally so poorly made that they leaked wind very badly).

The pallets are fitted to the inside of the Swell windchest
