Here are some photographs of repairing a the water damaged chest.
Here the French Trumpet chest is
being built up again after each of the individual parts
have been remade or refinished.
The large pneumatic motors are being put back into place
This is what they look like once
they are back
Here is a single motor. All
of them have had to be rebuilt using new leather and in
some cases newly remade wooden parts.
There are more than one thousand of these in the
complete organ and many of them were damaged in the
flood.
Each of the large French Trumpet pipes needs two
pneumatics. These smaller ones are on the base of
the chest
Here is a close-up of one of the small ones.
Being so small they are pretty tricky to re-build
