trial and error of building a chest organ

Thanks Samuel, I am recently concentrate on the manual and start working on the bellow. Here are more photos of the manual, the sharp keys are made with the same wood and covered with a piece of cow bone. It is indeed looks better than excepted. Xiaohu

Haven't been making updates for a while, here are some recent progress of the chest organ building, thank you all for your kind support during the process.

Best regards, Xiaohu

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

Zitat von SamES

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 organbuilders,

I really miss everyone very much and I am always appreciate for the generous help you gave me during the building process, this is the latest recording of this small instrument by my friend, I hope you could enjoy it and I am still trying to optimize the instrument.

Best regards to you all,

Xiaohu

Thanks Jens and Peter for your kind encouragement. This is a new recording using my cell phone that presents a small part of Mozart performed by a friend of mine.

Only the 4' pipes were used.
Best, Xiaohu

This is a workshop at the university where I am working at, part of the work is finished at this place.
