Lawless & Associates has a combined 100 years of pipe organ knowledge in one form or another—playing, building, refurbishing, maintaining and servicing. We provide:
- Tuning and Maintenance— We recommend a complete through tuning be performed on your organ during our first visit. During this complete tuning we will make sure that the organ is at the proper pitch of A440 at a temperature of 70°. For continued service we offer Organ Maintenance Agreements. Under the agreement we will call you and reserve a time in our schedule for service visits. Quite often organs do not need to be tuned at Easter and Christmas but do need tuned when the temperature changes and the building goes from heat to air conditioning and back again. We will call you to schedule a tuning for the seasonal changes, with tuning usually occurring in May/June/July and October/November/December. During these service visits, we will do all needed tuning, minor adjustments and regulation. With an agreement, the hourly rate is lower and we allow minimal travel time charges, as we try to “group” customers in a given area when we schedule the tunings. All agreements are invoiced on a semi annual basis with invoices being mailed out at the end of March and the end of September. The agreement price is based on a certain number of visits per year to service your organ (click here to see Service Tips).
