Organ Restoration Update
Bob Waters and Richard Nickerson are continuing to address important restoration needs on the Casavant organ in the Museum’s Mary Keane Chapel. This fall and winter they removed and completely rebuilt the wind chest that receives and regulates the air pressure produced by the organ’s electric blower. This included replacing all the original leather work that controls the release of air to the organ pipes. In addition to maintaining the organ’s tuning, they have been repairing coupling mechanisms that have failed. Unfortunately the Casavant company no longer makes certain replacement parts, so some aspects of the restoration work requires creative problem solving. We are fortunate to
have two craftsmen, well versed in the intricacies of Casavant organ construction, caring for this precious instrument.

Thank you for your support of their ongoing restoration work.
