Air

The last months we have been brooding over the air for the organ. Nowadays organs come with an electric ventilator that supplies the necessary pressure. Before this invention the instruments were pumped manually.

When voicing an organ in the style of Silbermann and Gabler the turbulence of the ventilator inevitably produces a less than desirable sound. We therefore decided to order a system that produces still air to the chests.

The mechanic contraption for pumping the three bellows will be provided by Åkermann & Lund who has experience in the field from time before the ventilators and who can provide a solution.

We think this will greatly enhance the easthetics of the instrument.
