Facade organ pipes – the great cover-up

Chris Shires

Facade organ pipes of 80 per cent tin

There's a particular beauty to an organ facade displaying pipes of 80 per cent tin.


A great deal of delicate work goes into manufacturing them so it is important they retain the brilliance of the factory finish when installed.


The picture, below, shows the covering we apply to all front pipes. It protects the metal from marks, yet the pipes can be voiced and handled until they are placed in the instrument.
