We rebuild what others part out▮

// HOW IT STARTED

A dead organ nobody would touch

In 2016 Marta Zielinska bought a silent combo organ for 200 zl because two shops had already refused to look at it. The tone generator was fine; a single open trace under the keyboard had killed the whole instrument. Fixing it took an evening, and the question that followed took much longer: how many working machines are being scrapped because nobody will spend that evening?

The answer, as far as we can tell from eight years of buying broken gear, is most of them. A synthesiser from 1983 almost never dies of anything structural. It dies of dried electrolytics, oxidised jacks, a cracked solder joint under a knob somebody leaned on. All of that is an afternoon of work and about 60 zl of parts, and almost nobody is set up to do it at a price a musician will pay.

So that is the business. We buy tired instruments from estates, studios closing down and people clearing a loft, we rebuild them properly, and we sell them with a signed sheet saying exactly what was done. The margin is thin and the queue is long, but the alternative is a skip. Piotr Wojcik runs restoration, Hanna Lis handles listings and dispatch, and Tomasz Ryba does the electronics nobody else will quote for.
