Chris Shires demonstrates how burnishers are used at Shires Organ PIPes to make pipes perfectly round.
Soap and water is used as a lubricant, but light oil can be used too.
Care must be taken to keep the steel highly polished so as not to scratch the pipe metal when burnishing.
This is the Choir 15th of a new project by William Drake Limited, Specialist Organ Builders.
If you would like to order bespoke pipes or find out more, please drop us a line or give us a call at our Leeds workshop.
