Few organ builders have as many pipe organs still being played decades following their installation as Casavant Frères. At Casavant, we remain committed to taking care of our existing instruments, as well as quality instruments by other builders, from routine service and repair to additions, console rebuilding, as well as more comprehensive projects. Returning to the original builder when such work is needed is the best way to keep the integrity of your pipe organ and to ensure its reliability into the future.
Just as with other objects made with natural materials that age with time, pipe organs too will need work to keep them in their original working condition. What is required and when it is needed will vary with each situation. We suggest that the best way to determine this is to contact us to arrange an inspection and evaluation of the instrument’s condition. Read more...
