Construction
The construction steps for building a new organ will be different than those for renovation, restoration, or repair. Different types of projects use the facilities of Patrick J. Murphy & Associates in different ways, but most stations in our facility are touched by each project.
Our state of the art woodshop may be asked to build a completely new instrument from design plans, or to use their exceptional skills to replace a single piece of a 150-year-old organ. Both jobs take different skills, which you’ll find in our shop.
During construction, other stations are used: general organ construction and wiring, pipe washing, re-leathering, winding, and voicing. Then, in the final station, we erect the completed instrument to do final testing and make mechanical adjustments.
