Tracker Bar Air Leaks
Check the tracker bar thoroughly before fitting it to the organ. I
fit a piece of plastic pipe to each pipe in turn on the underside of the
tracker bar, and blow into it whilst stopping the top hole with my finger.
Mark the position of any leaks with a pencil, then using a syringe (I use
one which is used for filling ink cartridges on the printer) pump about 3ml
of PVA glue into the top of the tracker bar, move it about to spread the
glue then drain out the surplus from the upturned tracker bar, clearing the
hole before the glue sets with a piece of rod (thin the PVA with water if
it is too thick). I've cured even big leaks with this method, for checking
for air leaks anywhere on the organ I use bubble liquid with a small paint
brush. |
