Know More On Pipe Organ Repair

By Kevin Scott


Count Dracula is known to be one of the classic monsters ever known by human kind. He is the lord of all living vampires. Everyone knows what vampires do and that is the need to feed on human blood. That is what they basically do as their job. Now for Count Dracula though, when he has enough of it, he has another hobby. That hobby is playing a musical instrument. But one night, he could not play it and decided to call the handyman to know more on pipe organ repair North Carolina.

This instrument is an old instrument found usually at ancient churches. The basilica of Valere in Sion, Switzerland has the oldest functioning and still playable organ in the world. Now unlike the pianos and modernized keyboards, they have more than one set of keys in different layers. You would have to be an expert to play this kind or even an alien with many arms.

Since repairs were usually done during the day, he told Igor, his personal assistant, to have the handyman come over to his mansion to check it out. As part of the service of the company that was contacted, a handyman happily shows up to see the instrument. Before assumptions were made, he did a quick check up as part of repair service.

After happily checking up on this, he told the count that dust that was accumulated could be the problem. Being in a haunted mansion that has no regular cleanliness could definitely cause this instrument to not work properly. Feeling guilty, he then permitted the person to do the cleaning immediately.

But the handyman did not end there. He also stated that the alloy or tin tubes of this instrument need to be replaced. He found out that due to its delicate material, he was able to find dents and bumps that changes the sound. Other than that, an oxide layer hardened some of those tubes as well also creating rusts.

One by one, he also checked each key from the board. There were three layers of them and he did not miss one. He again went outside, grabbed a bag from his truck and came back in. He then replaced the defective keys that were not functioning properly like they were hard to press or not producing any sound after pressing.

Other than the keyboard, the foot pedals also need restoring. The uses of each pedal have specific functions. The first one is called the soft pedal, the second is practice pedal and the third is a damper pedal. From the word soft, it softens the sound. The practice sustains it while the damper for resonance.

Irritated yet feeling guilty again, the monster just crossed his arms and asked what else the problem were. With a smile on the face of that handy individual, he also mentions that relocating them would be best to avoid the same mishaps. Relocation of the instrument may improve its quality.

He wiped his sweat and smiled at the count, asking him to play. Still trying to hold back the instincts, he pushed his cape back and sat down. He cracked his fingers and gently placed them on top of the keys. He took a deep breath and then finally hears the soothing music again. Dracula was happy and when he turned around to thank the handyman, that person vanished into thin air.
