Complete restoration of the 1962 Schaeffer Organ.

Repairs and improvements were completed by Buzard Pipe Organ Builders, in 2010 to the organ in the order’s Chapel, as follows:

The console was removed to the Buzard factory for complete renovation. Work included the following items:

  • Manual keyboards and pedalboard were rebushed, and new contacts were fitted.
  • A new console rectifier was installed.
  • The existing console interior wiring was completely replaced.
  • Console woodwork was cleaned and missing veneer trim pieces were replaced.

A new, custom designed and built solid state relay and combination action was installed in the console and organ chamber. All new, pvc-insulated color coded wiring was installed to connect the console and windchests to the new relay.

The organ was completely restored in 2014; please see that listing for complete details.
