  • I really want to build my own home organ but I am currently a student and is very busy. Approximately how much time I will need to invest in building a simplistic one stop practice organ?

  • @issueagent About 700 hours.

  • @raphig Is that approximately 29 days?

  • @mcgyvr2009i 700 hours is 17.5 weeks if you work full time.

  • how do you know what length and width to make the pipes?

  • The length is calculated using the formula shown in my website in the mathematics section. The width depends on the type of tone you want. Larger widths will sound like a flute, medium widths will sound like a principal and smaller widths will sound like a string.

  • @raphig your videos and website are so useful as i'm planning to use your Pipe designs for a chamber organ i'm planning to build, is there a need for certain types of wood, or is it suitable to use any wood which is sturdy enough?

  • I need more clamps.

  • @raphig Wow that's a long time. How long would it take to at least create the area where the air gets compressed?

  • @raphig Woah 0.o I'm willing to try it out! Thanks for the info and tutorial ! :)

  • Hi! good work! have Italian origins?

  • Thanks Raphig, Great Video and web site. I made a test pipe using simple hand tools and scrap materials! It works very well and was a very satisfying project. My only problem is that I compute the primary harmonic should be at 430cps but it plays F# at 370cps - too far off to explain by end corrections. Another mystery ☺
