Abstract
The pipe organ is the only musical instrument inseparably associated with the room acoustics of the building for which it was constructed (Cathedral, church, concert hall, private residence). Historical pipe organs are items belonging to the cultural heritage of humanity, which deserve special care for restoration, conservation and preservation. Specific methodologies should be employed for each of the main four structural elements namely the casework, the manual also called the console or key–desk and the keys, the mechanical–tracker–action and the wind system. Conservation treatment requires examination, documentation, treatment for stabilization, maintenance, restoration and reconstruction. Preventive conservation acts to slow deterioration by controlling the agents of decay. Preservation implies preserving pipe organs in their historical context, requiring periodic inspection.
