This category covers the skills and workshop facilities necessary for periodic overhaul without major alteration, including overhauling of soundboards, releathering of bellows, routine pipe repair and so on. Whilst some members may be ready to include minor tonal or other changes in such an operation, work in this category may share the criteria that form part of the philosophy of the Historic Restoration category, such as non-intrusive repair and renewal of perishable materials on a like-for-like basis.
It is understood that accreditation in this category requires that the skills identified within the Tuning and Maintenance category are in evidence.
There are four main sections required to be inspected to succeed in this category. The significance of the details within each is that, while examples of workmanship may have been witnessed over and above, in every case these items will have been inspected as a minimum requirement within this category.
