trial and error of building a chest organ

    Dear Xiaohu,


    I hope this message finds you well.


    I recently came across your work on the organ positive you built, and I would like to express my sincere admiration. The craftsmanship, clarity of concept, and musical sensitivity behind the instrument are truly impressive. It is always inspiring to see such a thoughtful and well-executed project created by an individual builder.


    I am a musician and teacher with a long-standing interest in organ building, and I am currently considering the construction of a small organ positive for my own use. Your instrument, in particular, resonates strongly with my ideas in terms of size, disposition, and overall design.


    I would therefore like to ask—very respectfully—whether you might be willing to share any technical drawings, plans, or documentation related to the construction of your organ positive. I fully understand the value of such work, and I assure you that any materials would be used solely for personal study and inspiration, not for commercial purposes.


    Of course, I would completely understand if you prefer not to share these details. Either way, thank you for the inspiration your work provides, and for contributing so beautifully to the living tradition of organ building.


    With kind regards,
