  • Thats very good for a home made!

    It hasn't got an awful timbre. Its very pleasent!

  • @jennaofthecuckooclan That is very good to know!!! I had no plan to go by.

  • Very pretty!

  • Glad you enjoyed this.

  • like basically do you need more than some basic woodworking tools to do these things??? chisel, plane( rabbit and long) , lathe??, drill??? very curious??

  • The 1/8" thick bass wood used for pipes cut with single edge razor blades and straight edge. A table saw would be nice for cabinet making. I don't have one so used a scroll saw with wide blade. Lathe and drill press not needed. Hand drill is good.

  • I love your organ! ever thought about buying a rank or 2 of pipes off ebay and just making the console for them? it will probly cost more but it will be less work intencive. but i really do love this mini organ.

  • what about the things that capture the "signal" from the paper?? and how do you make the things that pull the paper throught the machine??? really would like to tackle this project. think maybe you could send me some plans??? or like lots of pictures and so forth?

  • hi- im wondering how hard it would be to build one of these things? did you make all the pipes? would you ever consider posting somekind of tutorial in building this? its so amazing!

  • Nice work!! I guess there are more of these homemade instruments around than one would tend to think. Mine spans three octaves and runs on a spa blower. My initial blower was a shop vac. The pressure is regulated at 14" wc. The late Gaylord Carter once played it.
