kind of soft for a tremulant, most of them I hear are deep bass from close by and like a fast drum, this remindes me of what I sound like when I smoke a cigar, huf huff huff pfwwoooooo, lol
Indeed! I think that there were no pipes in the organ when I filmed this. And of course I have continued to modify the design, and have improved many features. When a new one is working in the next organ I will post another video, and make sure that I include a bit of music. Thanks!
THAT is SOOO cool. Now what kind of wind pressure are you running with this. Because i wonder if for (SMALL) theater organs if it would be a good alternative for soft ranks like celests and things like that.
Pressure in this organ is an astonishing 55mm, or 2 1/4 inches! Not bad for an organ with a healthy 16' posaune. On high pressures I think it probably wouldn't do too well, but keep watching! I will post a newer version this year which may be better.
Sweet and gentle! Sometimes a winker somewhere in the wind system helps keep it from getting too aggressive. (and3583? The Taylor and Boody phone number is 540 886 3583. Interesting coincidence...)
The spring only touches the leather when the tremulant is off. It looks like it touches when it is running, but I'm pretty sure there is a small space. If it rubs through I'll let you know!
What a nice design. What are the limits and power of this style of tremulant? For instance, can it be scaled up and used for a theatre organ tibia tremulant. Say a Wurlitzer Solo scale tibia on 15 inches of wind. This would be a most demanding application and would prove its design. I am concerned that the pallet would not open far enough and allow a suitable amount of air to escape to make the correct heavy tibia trem effect. Thoughts?? Thanks for this posting and sharing a new idea.
Fifteen inches might be a little on the extreme end... Wurlitzer tremulants are really unbeatable for high-pressure applications. On low-pressure organs (this is about 2 1/2"), the tremulamt just provides a pulse and the bellows take over and shake the wind (gently, I might add!). Getting a Wurlitzer regulator to dance at big tibia speed is a daunting task, as attested to by the enormous pallets in their trems. I think this is one place where a meeting of worlds may not be possible...
Fantasticly interesting and informative video. Makes me want to go right out and make myself one just like it! But most striking is the incredible Old World Craftsmanship evident in the smallest details of this masterpiece; a labor of love, without question.

It would have been nice to hear the actual effect to the sound too.

Much less complicated than what I'm used to, but works almost the same way. Brilliant. I'd love to hear it shaking a rank/chorus!!

Very nifty! Is that coil spring rubbing against the leather motor?
