Pipe Organ Foundation Facilities |
The physical facilities of the Foundation are on Mercer Island which is very close to Seattle. The principal building available to the Foundation consists of a workroom/assembly room, a wood and pipe shop, and an upstairs storage and work area especially devoted to console rebuilding. This building was completed in early 2012. While the facility is not large, it was designed specifically for pipe organ work. The Foundation also has available four other storage facilities. The workroom and assembly area is where handwork of all sorts is done including wiring, leathering, felting, and some pipe cleaning. The volunteers have a most pleasant view out the large window while they do their work. The room also serves as a lunch room, and the lunch table is a wonderful place for the volunteers to connect with one another. Finally, as the organ parts are completed, they are assembled in this room. |
