John, I am so very happy this little project is still bringing you joy. The organs I built from your plans have brought me unimaginable pleasure. I have many fond memories of our time in Clophill and Flitwick, your hospitality making a wonderful visit.
The whistles and bellows are patterned after those of a cuckoo clock. There are no valves, air is drawn in through the mouth of the whistle, then when the cam allows the spring loaded assembly to drop, the air is forced out quickly, making the sound.
that is the most amazing little invention I have ever seen. It is so so clever and dare I say adorable. You must make a huge batch and sell them....they would prove most popular. very clever indeed and very sweet. How long did that take to make? the art work is good too!

The sound is created with two small wooden organ pipes, with individual bellows underneath. Cams lift each spring loaded pipe assembly then allow the pipe to drop, compressing the air in the bellows and blowing the pipe.
Dan, This little project is a true stroke of genious on your part. I know John Smith must appreciate this very much. I can "see" the little organ grinder in a prominate location in his home. BobH
hey that is sooooooooooooooo sweet and clever! You could make yourself a fortune selling those!

Built with bits of scrap wood, some thin leather, a few pieces of wire, a couple screws, a little paint, and a lot of experimentation!
