The cleaning and partial restoration of the Hinsz organ from 1772 included the following work:

The organ was

  • cleaned
  • Wherever possible, wires and axles were derusted and lubricated
  • feltrings were glued onto the wind chests and upper boards and the sliders were readjusted
  • most of the purses were replaced
  • the pallet springs were replaced by reconstructed springs
  • the pedalboard was newly garnished
  • panels and doors have been partially restored
  • all locks have been replaced
  • the pipes were cleaned and restored where necessary
  • the reed registers were checked thoroughly, the tin covering of the shallots was replaced and re-leathered where they were too much decomposed by tin pest and the resonators were partially extende

 

The expert on this work was Stef Tuinstra and the organist Ludolf Heikens
