Where O Where has my pipe gone?

So that I can help the tuner, I made a better map of where the pipes all go.

I Just Might

Bigelow delighted to come tune it.

Hello Richard:

Great to hear we have another tracker organ in Utah! Of course, we shall be delighted to help you tune the organ. Can you hold keys? If not, we can bring our own assistant.

David and I are in Missouri maintaining our Opus 24 - III/40 stops at Conception Abbey. We return home late tomorrow, (Saturday). We'll contact you next week to set up and appointment.

Sincerely,

Bigelow & Co.

Mike

End of next week. Make shade for pedal light. Cut stain and varnish.

Key will be $30 from Bilco. Ouch!

Tune My Organ, Please!

Tune more. Fix cipher. Email Bigelow Organ to come tune it. Buy and wire pedal light.

Hello,

This is a follow-up to a call I made Thursday inquiring about who could tune my Casavant 1M/P tracker which I just set up in my organ room (see photo). I just got back from tearing it down and packing it up (from a balcony!!) in Whitehall, NY, trucking it across I-80, unloading and setting it up in my Orem home. I was told that either Mike or David might be available to tune it for me sometime next week. If not, I hope you could refer me to someone in the valley who could do it.

The Casavant is from 1972, and has 8 ranks, 6 stops: Gedackt 8', Prinzipal 4', Rohrflote 4', Gemshorn 2', Mixture III and a subbass 16'. There is also a slight problem with a cipher when the pedal coupler is engaged. (This is probably due to me getting distracted as I hooked up the rear pallet pull-down wires.) I will remove the subbass pipes from the rear of the cabinet ahead of time to allow access to the pipes.

I am Richard Adams, 1014 E 850 N in Orem. You can call me 801 2261357 or reply to this email. David has been in my home, playing the old 2M/P Mason & Hamlin reed organ, just like one he relished in former years.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Richard Adams
