Hello, what a lovely organ, does building one of these require any major skill? i know one end of a screwdriver from the other. Also do they need tuning? Thanks Again.
@fedupworking Not particularly, I am not a carpenter and often measure once ,cut twice!!! You need to be patient but this is certainly the easiest one to make to get a good result as there is no pneumatic vavles to make. It does need a tuning meter to set the pipes up and to check occasionally but they are readily available cheaply. Have a look at Johns site for the plans where there are some links to other builders. I have since added a second row of melody pipes recently and need to refilm.
Thanks for replying, i really fancy trying to build one, my only worry is that it will end up sounding like Les Dawson on the piano! Thanks Again.
