Beyond the commission of new instruments,
Schantz Organ Company has developed a world-class reputation in the
area of rebuild
and restoration of noteworthy existing pipe organs. Fluent in the
mechanism of many of America's leading houses of organbuilding – including
Skinner Organ Company, Aeolian-Skinner, Aeolian, Möller, and others – our
staff and facilities offer an unparalleled combination of skill and
physical space to accommodate and complete even the most complex
and sizeable rebuild and restoration tasks.
|
Utilizing the same turn-key approach we bring
to new commissions, our staff recognizes the vast output of
American organbuilding which deserves to be maintained, preserved,
and propelled forward for the next generation. |
Whether restoring pipework by re-capturing the voice of the original
builder, rebuilding mechanism to like-new condition, or providing
a new mechanical chassis to accommodate a revised layout or the relocation
of an existing instrument, the skilled artisans of Schantz Organ
Company
know and appreciate that leaving our "thumbprint" or tonal
signature is not the goal of the successful restorer or re-builder.
A healthy respect and acknowledgement for those craftspersons that
have gone before us, assists in guiding and directing our work in
this discipline. |
