Messiah Lutheran Church, Camrose AB:
June 2026
This II/28 Karl Wilhelm tracker organ had suffered some collapsed facade pipes a few years prior to this repair.
The facade pipes were repaired and reinforced, but the glue used for the repair never fully dried, causing bubbling in the pipes; threatening another collapse.
A view of the air bubbles visible inside and outside of the pipe. The pipes had to be cut open at each one to depressurize the bubble and to remove excess glue.
Cross-section of one of the air bubbles. Wet glue can be seen deep in the pocket. One pipe foot had to be cut into four individual pieces.
The final result:
The bubbles are fully removed and the pipes are no longer at risk of collapsing.
The red arrow marks the pipe that was cut into four pieces.
Grace Lutheran Church, Camrose AB:
May/June 2026
This II/13 Koppejan tracker organ required a cleaning as well as some rather extensive repairs.
The Pedal Trumpet 8' stop had collapsed.
After much straightening and resoldering, a new pipe racking system was installed to prevent future collapse.
