Actions, Bellows, and Chests: the ABC’s of “What is the Organbuilder talking about?”

The King of Instruments has always been a complex machine, as well as a beautiful musical instrument. However, organists sometimes overlook the technical details of their instrument, leaving it to organ builders and consultants. But what if your instrument needs some work and your institution is relying upon your expertise to comprehend and explain the organ builder’s report of the required work? Or perhaps you just feel it’s time to become more comfortable and conversant with the technicalities of your instrument?

In this workshop, organ builders Dave Brown and Chris Bono will de-mystify some of the technical sides of the pipe organ, help you to understand the language of your organ builder, and answer any specific questions you might have always wanted to ask.
