RESTORATION
d.r burville organ builders

David has the knowledge & experience for a sympathetic restoration.

Whatever type of instrument, whatever it's age or history, David can perform a restoration that will 'turn back the clock' and bring the best out of your instrument. With many historic instruments in David's care, he takes pride in a high quality of workmanship and is sympathetic to the organs history.

FULL RESTORATIONS

By far one of the most ambitious organ building projects in the UK has been the restoration of the Oktoberfest Organ, done by David at his workshops in Canterbury.

SERVICING AND CLEANING

David promises to do only what is necessary.
He believes in conservation of the instrument.
This Gavioli was releathered and cleaned meaning it can continue to play many hours a day in Joby Carters Gallopers.

Facilities

David has the workshop space to take on big projects. The Oktoberfest Organ was lifted up to the 1st floor of his workshop, giving him the space to thoroughly dismantle and restore.

Experience

After working full time in Organ Building for the last 25 years and serving an apprenticeship with
J Verbeeck of Belgium, David has the knowledge, experience and initiative.

The Future

David has quickly established a name for himself, being the youngest full time builder in the UK and has a number of important and interesting projects lined up, both now and in the future.

This delightful 48 Key Marenghi had been suffering severe woodworm. David visited and performed a simple on site restoration. The Organ has been fully treated with all woodworm killed. It was then repaired and releathered, tuned and adjusted, all ready to go on entertaining people for another hundred years!
