Wow, beautiful!

Does anyone have a file for laser cutting of organ pipes please?

Hello dear organ friends, it is been a while to update my progress in organ building, cheers!
The "C-shaped" pipe is difficult to make and to make it sound nice, I will try it again using a different approach.
The leaking between the channels of windchest is indeed troublesome, i am still fixing this problem using glue bath.
I hope it can make sound in next month. Xiaohu

Does the large double-bent pipe have enough space above the labium? The upper part of the organ is placed on top of the box with the blower, and the bottom seems to be just above the labium of the pipe. Thus, the pipe should be massively too low and sound bad. Greetings! Samuel

Thanks Samuel for your kind suggestion, it is indeed a problem but I manage to solve it.
I upload a short video of the chest organ at its present stage, I hope i could somehow finished in October.

Hello Xiaohu, I'm so happy for you. Always nice to see progress and to hear the sweet sounds. Looks like it's almost finished. You must be working really hard and quick!

Thanks! Looks great and as far as can be determined from this recording, the organ also sounds really lovely! Congratulations! Samuel
