Help and or advice to move an organ

[organforumadmin]

Hi!


I have just received the following message from member "Gregory":

I am the new owner of the Osmond organ from Methodist Church. I got 2 weeks to get it out there. I am 30+ years old "tennager" but know nothing about removing the organs. Would you be able to give me a hand with it and tell me how to do it? Is it really so simple? Company i could hire would cost a fortune, i would preffer to put that money into restoration. Thanks a lot for any help!

Please can anyone give advice and possibly even volunteer? Perhaps AOC - wouldn't this get you started?

Best wishes

Depends where it is and what it's like getting there! Remember, I don't drive and even if I did, both train fares and petrol are horrifically expensive now.

Glad to see you're saving an old Osmond - they were a local firm to me and did some good work.  Where are you and where is the organ?

Hi!

On practicalities, the thread on "How to remove an organ"
http://www.organmatters.com/index.php/topic,1265.msg5769.htm
usefully details the process and tips to ensure a successful project. No doubt there are more but hope it's useful.
