Art's Piano & Organ Tuning and Services

Last week, I tuned this unique Harrison &Harrison organ in the Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria. It's an amazing instrument!

This week, I tuned the 78 ranks of the Casavant organ in the Pacific Spirit United Church of Vancouver. My daughter assisted me the full week! The organ sounds wonderful, all divisions at the same pitch. It's a joy to hear the difference!

Today, I tuned the 16 reeds of this Symphonic Tracker Organ in Victoria. It was fantastic to work together with the Cathedral Organist who knows the organ so well!

Just finished the installation of new key tops on a beautiful older piano. The old ones were damaged and now, it looks so great!

Teaching my student of 11 years old. So beautiful to do !

Recently, I tuned a beautiful Casavant organ in the Roman Catholic church in Aldergrove, what a beautiful instrument! The strings and flutes are just amazing. A copple of non speaking pipes and keys are working again! All together, both organs and pianos are tuned by me, thankfull for being able to do this beautiful work!

Just had lunch, a great beef and barley soup, wonderful service! Very good service and friendly waitress! Fireplace was burning, good place to be!

This week, I tuned a beautiful 3 rank Continue Organ in the Christ Cathedral in Vancouver. What a wonderful building and impressive instruments!

Just before Christmas, I was practicing for my Christmas Concert in the Canadian Reformed Church of Surrey. The organ was out of tune very badly. I was asked to do the repairs and tuning. Some of the Trombone 16' pipes where not speaking. By re-leathering of the shallots (the existing leather was loose and caused the problem) the pipes are speaking again and I was able to use them during my concert! We also tuned the entire 41 stops of the organ. It sounded great!

By tuning a beautiful grand piano, I found a sticky damper which caused an annoying effect while playing. It was an easy fix, I removed the action and lubricated the Damper Underlever and Damper Post Centre. The Damper works perfect now.
