In 2016 the renovation works on the Pels organ (33/IIIP) in Dendermonde (Belgium) were completed. Besides a complete re-voicing including recomposition of the mixtures and rescaling of some stops the unreliable electric action was renewed. Also the ergonomics of the console were improved and new keyboards, pedal contacts, stopjambs and draw knobs, swells, pistons, displays, combination system and midi recorder were installed.

The mdf (!) sliders by Pels were laquered, causing them to stick to the slider seals. The laquer was removed and the sliders polished and layer of graphite was applied. The pipe work was re-racked due to the re-voicing and re-scaling works.
