juliana concert organ

Juliana is a 65 key fairorgan or can be switched to play in a 98 key, fully chromatic mode, with the extensive percussion section the organ can play just about anything. I built this organ in 2002 to my own requirements, I wanted something that I could arrange music for without worrying about missing notes also to play music arranged for various standard organ keys. The organ plays from midi files. The pipework consists of; Bass one full octave 18 pipes. Accompniment 24 pipes Melody two octaves, celest bourdons, open flues with octave , pan pipes with tremulant, Piccolo 14 pipes, accordion,glockenspiel. The countermelody is 20 notes with pipes vox humana, (tremulant reeds) and a set of mechanical chime bars. Percussion includes bass drum twin beater snare crash cymble brush cymble triangle, marracas castanets, tambourine. sleigh bells. four wood blocks. Wooden figures move lady plays triangle and moves head conductor moves arm and head. Altogether a real audio visual experience.

its got a lovely sweet sound, where are the figure's from?

[gemmadan]

I made the organ to be suitable for modern times, not just loud. Moderate wind pressure gives this nice sound and of course the way I voice the pipes. The figures were ready carved one copies of old designs, I painted and animated them. Thanks for your kind comments

how does the organ looks like back from?....

and is it really your organ?....

[gemmadan]

Yes it is really mine and all home made mainly from everyday materials nearly all the pipes are MDF. It is mounted in a small 3 meter long caravan which means i have a bed and cooker etc. The organ is misleading in its apperance as it is really so compact and the small caravan gives most people the impression that it is quite a big organ I like to call it a fully working two thirds scale mocel.

I will post another video with fuller shots and me to give it a sense of scaling.
