The only correct way to do this is to find a qualified organ technician (avoid electronic organ repair men) and ask him to re-pitch the organ. One would assume however, that any owner of a pipe organ (usually a church) has it serviced regularly so the technician who usually services the instrument should be the person to do it. I must state that radical re-pitching is not always advisable. I service many organs that were built during a time when the standard was A=435. Most are still at that pitch but those that have been raised have suffered for it. Re-pitching such an organ almost always requires many pipes to be trimmed to reach A=440 (or higher) and has a detrimental effect on the organ's overall tone and the tuning stability of the reed stops in particular not to mention being very expensive as at least double the amount of time of a regular tuning is required.
