CONSOLES! We have a literal shop full of organ consoles for various levels of upgrades and improvements.

The brand new console for the 1924 Austin organ belonging to Grace United Methodist Church of Zanesville, Ohio has been delivered! We will install the operating system and update the onsite wiring in order to complete the total restoration of the instrument later this year. pics 1 - 7

The console for 1952 M.P. Moller belonging to Bridgeport United Methodist Church has been brought back to our shop as well. The organ previously had an expression pedal for English Bells and Flemish Bells, both now gone, which creates the space for the addition of a Choir division. Five (original) expression shoes become four and two manuals become three! pics 8 - 10

Hiding behind the Bridgeport console in pic 8, under protective cover is actually the console for the 1967 Tellers organ belonging to St. Peter's Episcopal Church of Delaware, Ohio. This console will have all new components installed, all the way down to the key contacts. In addition to this work, all the pipes have been removed and brought to our shop to be cleaned and voiced, and two new reed ranks manufactured here in Ohio (!) are installed, namely an 8' Oboe and a 16'/8'/4' Trumpet. pics 11-16

We have the honor to continue the restoration of the 3 manual, 40 rank, 1924 Austin pipe organ belonging to Grace Church. The Great and the Antiphonal organ have already been releathered, we completed the Swell releathering in 2024 and will have Choir finished later this year in time for Christmas. A new console is also provided. One of the most unique parts of this is the total restoration is that of the sixty-one note Harp unit. Each note has a pnuematic action in the wind chest to be rebuilt, a wooden stoppered pipe that needs repacked, a (hinged!) striker pnuematic that must be relathered, striker tip must be replaced and the chime bars restrung. The stoppered pipe is used to tune the individial notes. This is an incredibly labor intensive job to restore just one 'voice' in the instrument and that fact is the main reason that we rarely come across a working Harp. It's a very special project to us in it's uniquiness and to our client who appreciates and has routinely invested in their instrument. Their care over last 100 years is clearly evident througout the church.

🙋‍♀️SEND US YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES🙋‍♂️

Since the beginning of time, P-H sends postcards to our clients approximately 2-3 weeks ahead of the scheduled service appointments. When we began the postcard was 13 cents! This isn't about the cost, though, but rather the lack of timely delivery.

This past service period we have heard from numerous clients that the cards did not arrive in time, or with very late notice. See the card below - it was mailed June 4th (for a tuning scheduled for 6/18) and it was returned to the shop after July 4th.

So please, if you have not already, give us a call at 800-769-PIPE and provide an email address or two so we can connect moving forward. Thank you!

Churches of Ohio has shared another longtime client of ours, St. Paul's Evangelical Church of Marietta. Mike Herzog and Sam Peebles took over the service contract in 1981 when they purchased the A.W. Brandt pipe organ company.

As stated in the original post, the church purchased a new M.P. Moller pipe organ in 1932 and the church has dutifully cared for it since. The organ was restored in 1988 (along with a few tonal changes that reflect the passage of time) and remains in good working order today.

1988 Rieger II/18

We want to share this listing as we have cared for this excellent instrument since it was installed. The organ is currently in storage at our shop.

The church closed to relocate and we removed the Rieger to our shop with the goal of reinstallation in the church's new location but that plan has not come to fruition as they hoped. This organ is an absolute maintenance GEM! We'd visit twice annually, touch up a few reeds and hardly much else. Not many 36 year old machines that need so little in the way maintenance and repair.

*P&H does not profit from the sale of the organ

Beautiful Walker residence organ built in 1994. Beautiful craftsmanship and voicing, it’s just the thing for serious practice at home, or for a small chapel. We look forward to hearing from you.

Saint Joseph Cathedral Music concert this Sunday in Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Richard K. Fitzgerald plays the Messiaen and Dr. Nicole Simental is the guest for the Pärt and organ-only version of the Duruflé. This is a terrific opportunity to hear two of Columbus' excellent organists demonstrate the 2006 Fritts pipe organ we affectionately call 'Big Red.'
