The ASSOCIATION DES AMIS DES ORGUES DE L’EGLISE DE SAVERDUN (AOES) recently organized a highly informative and engaging workshop focused on the intricacies of organ maintenance. The workshop aimed to provide participants with a practical understanding of the instrument’s mechanics and the essential steps involved in its upkeep. Led by experienced organ technicians, the session covered a range of topics, from basic cleaning and tuning to more advanced troubleshooting techniques. Participants had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the organ, learning about its various components and how they work together.
The hands-on approach proved to be particularly valuable, allowing attendees to apply their newfound knowledge under the guidance of experts. The workshop fostered a sense of appreciation for the craftsmanship and complexity of the organ. It also empowered participants to contribute to the instrument’s long-term preservation. The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire for future workshops on related topics.
The AOES is committed to providing ongoing educational opportunities to promote the understanding and appreciation of the Église de Saverdun organ. We believe that by empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills to care for this historic instrument, we can ensure its continued enjoyment for generations to come.
