Finally Having A 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 kind of instrument is usually found on old churches. They are the old version of pianos and keyboards that we all know. But what makes them different from the two is they are much bigger and have tubes at its back. This instrument is an antique and not much is produced of it anymore.

Now the count is not very familiar with the services. So he humbles down and tries to hold off his instincts and called a handyman to come over so that he would have an idea what needed to be fixed. After his call, this service person arrives with a positive vibe, not even realizing that he is facing a monster, and does his job.

After doing so, he concluded that the musical instrument was already dirty and had dust and cobwebs that prevents it from playing. Now being in a haunted mansion and all, it is not a surprise that dust have been accumulated. The job of Igor was not to clean but rather to assist the count in his daytime activities so it will not be a wonder why it is dirty.

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.

Lastly, the handyman then pulled up his pants higher, stretched and began to move that instrument. The vampire stopped him and asked why. With a professional explanation, relocating the instrument could improve the quality. This was the fifth usual to the restoration process.

But after all this and it still is not properly working, maybe it is the time to upgrade, he suggests. When the word upgrade was spoken, it echoed all the way to the lair of Dracula and woke him up. He floated from his coffin, pushed Igor aside and took the handyman out of the mansion for he did not like the idea since he was more of traditional kind of monster.
