Bach prelude on my homemade pipe organ.wmv

A prelude by Bach played on my unfinished pipe organ. Still left to build are C2 through D#3. These pipes I'm going to try to make stopped. None of the pipes have been tune perfectly yet, or mounted nicely either. But it's fun to hear it played. Currently I have completed E3 through B6. Besides fine tuning, I need to adjust each pipe to make them all sound with a similar volume. I have posted other videos showing construction if this interests you.
Thanks for watching!

Do you have any drawings, diagrams or techical information on the net somewhere about this organ?

@hartleymartin Only the couple of other videos I've posted. I left enough there to show how I'm making the various parts. Sorry, I don't have any dimensions, I just "eyeball" everything. I searched youtube and any web pages I could find on homemade pipe organs and gleaned what I liked the best. The keyboard I laid out with the same measurements as my piano.

0:34 PLZ c ^^

@MegaDani141 I got no idea what this means

If you did all this without help it's wonderful, and if you had help that's wonderful too. Credit goes to you and all those who have nurtured your confidence and provided you with the means to follow through with your remarkable intentions.

The pipes could be cut slightly sharp and small rolled sheet metal "sardine can" tuners attached to the top for more precise tuning. In a few years you could work for a pipe organ builder. You're already off to a great start.

@Erik3harps Thanks for the nice compliments.

Can you tell me what prelude this is??

[OrganPianoMusic]

@vslslr He means: The left hand should play a C instead of C# at 0:34! :)

RIP headphone users.

I can actually play the beginning of that piece myself, but there's no bass pedals here!
