Organ APPEAL

Parts of the organ will be transported to the builder’s Brisbane workshop where they will be fully refurbished. The work will include:

• Careful restoration of the original pipework to preserve its original tonal qualities.
• Judicious additions to the original specification in keeping with the other work of the Roberts firm.
• Restoration of the two slider windchests
• Overhaul of the 1986 Larner console
• Adaptation of the internal framing and casework
• Installation of a new electric swell engine
• Installation of new electric stop actions
• Installation of a new solid-state control system
• Installation of a humidifier

The organ will then be returned to Lower Chittering and reassembled in the rear gallery. The action and pipework will be regulated and fine-tuned to achieve optimum results.
