New Pipes for an Existing Pipe Organ
By D. L. Bullock

[ Ref. 050815 MMDigest, "Wurlitzer 105 Trumpet Design"

If you ever need replacement reed tongues, blocks, shallots, wedges,
tuning wires, you do not have to order on-the-shelf organ supply
company parts.  You may contact

  Organ Supply Industries, Erie, PA;
  Schantz Organ, Orrville, OH;
  Wicks Organ, Highland, IL;
  Schopp Organ Supply, Akron, OH;
  Trivo (somewhere in California)

All of these companies will take your old beat up organ pipes and
restore them with exact replacement parts.  Or send your parts in
and they will make exact replacements for you to install yourself.
I have dealt with these companies and they are all dependable.

Just because someone before you had a certain part made a certain
way does not mean that it will fit your instrument.  The answer is
special custom work.  Remember, _all_ pipe organs are custom work;
very rarely do you find stock, on-the-shelf pipe organs.  Pipes must
be designed and built for the room the pipes will be played in.
