A bit of history. Those wide keys are actually historically accurate. The first organs actually deserving of the name had old-style mechanical spring-and-counterweight actions that required extra pressure to play the notes. The first organists for that type of instrument were called "organ pounders" because they had to pound on the stiff-action keys.
What a wonderful choice for a project. Not only are practical skills required, but there are many Physics and Music theory learning opportunities. I note that this work was completed over 3 years ago, so now expect a 32ft pipe sticking out of your roof in place of a chimney.
fun fact- where I come from organ builders were paid bonus in wine: as much as it fits in the largest pipe. This is what resulted in just one pipe being sometimes 128'.
You really put a lot of work in that organ. For a young girl, that's priceless. Not afraid of shop work and thinking for herself. I know how time-consuming organ building is. I built my own pipe organ years ago. Took about a year and that was with pipes salvaged from an old church organ. I built a small one with 2 ranks of pipes- 8ft Rohrflute 61 pipes and 4ft Principle 72 pipes which gave me the option to use the Principles in 2ft pitch. Had a beautiful tone. The pipes were originally used to support the singing of a 150 seat church, so they were LOUD in my house.
@@person8987 Well not really. Although the process of making digital sound speakers is interesting in its own right, it's fairly bland as a topic compared to how the pipe organ and other wind instruments manipulate wind and sound and can be used as entire musical instruments.
My compliments! I just saw this video. I love how you went about designing the organ without getting hung up with the fine points of organ-building theory. If you ever want to pursue organ-building in a rigorous manner you absolutely must get the books: The Art of Organ Building by George Ashdown Audsley (Volumes I and II). Originally published in 1905 by Dover (New York), it has since been reprinted and published by Dover. The book is still the definitive work on organ-building, and requires no prior knowlege to understand. Audsley was an architect when he set about building a small organ. We had three daughters, and all studied music. However, none of them share my passion for BUILDING things, such as organs, and I was delighted to see that YOU did it.
First off:mind blown! Second: I so love that she (with help from an amazing dad) dove into such a challenging project with enthusiasm, a prerequisite for a career as an engineer, a musician or both, and third: that she did all that wearing girly clothes instead of overalls or shop jumpsuit LOL!!! WELL DONE young lady and your dad must be super proud of you! He obviously raised you to believe there is nothing you cannot do! You are a success now and in the future, no doubt.
Paul.. Here from Canada, I can see your dedication and love for Lilly. She is lucky to have such a dedicated father! A beautiful example of determination, persistency, patience and love. Congrats!
Loved this video. Having two musical daughters (now grown up) who liked building things, this took me back a bit...fantastic work by Lilly, and nice work on the recording of it too.
Congratulations Lilly and my highest praise to you. Building a working Organ from scratch is a daunting task for anyone. That you chose to do so and that you succeeded in making such, deserves nothing less than the highest accolades.
Good stuff! I had a friend in college who built pipe organs in his tiny dorm room in Philadelphia. Once I went with him on a scavenging mission to get a keyboard across town. We got the keyboard and we carried it on to the streetcars and then on the subway too. Back then, the transit workers and police weren't quite so uptight about such strange things.
this is incredible work and the detractors I think are completely missing the point of the craft involved in this endeavor, picking at adjustable details without considering the monumental effort that went involved to getting it to this AMAZING point. It's sad enough to go through life nitpicking in general but choosing to do it to someone who has obviously put in so much effort in a successful project just shows how out of touch they are. Instead of being negative on the internet, why don't you spend that time doing something constructive yourself and sharing it with the world? GREAT JOB! never let anyone hold you back!!!!! :)
@@Ardjano234 There are no home organ builders left in business today. Lowrey, who was #1 in the business, closed about 2 years ago. There are many keyboards around, but none of them play or sound like a real organ with 2 keyboards and pedals.
@@billz4071 Allen and Rodgers companies are still building electronic organs of varying sizes. Although buying one of these is not the same as a project making a pipe organ from plastic plumbing! I have an old 4 manual console, no pipes, would love to someday build a Miditzer computer and 4 extended ranks of pipes for it. Diapason, flute, trumpet, oboe - used ranks would be excellent! 16-ft diapason and flute will fit in a reasonable space if the low octave is stopped pipes, 8 ft actual length plus the foot. ruclips.net/video/LcFDNR6-VVs/видео.html
Super awesome! I had some PVC pipes in lengths 1, 2 and 4, blew into them and showed my 8 year-old octaves... but this project goes waaaaaayyyyyyy beyond! I'm gonna show this vid to him.
Very interesting and exciting to see this being built. The mind is a great thing when it is used productively. This was not a small undertaking either. I service and tune pipe organs, as well as electronic ones, so that makes this one even more exciting to me. One thing you could add to this would be a small tin or plastic sleeve around the end of each tube/pipe and use it for tuning each pipe. You may have to trim each one shorter, but it would be interesting for you to also see how to refine your great work a little more. GREAT JOB, Lilly!!!
I'm a professional harpsichord and piano builder. I've made 3 little portative hand pumped organs. They are almost as much work as a so how harpsichord! Wow what a girl! Keep up the good work!
1-25-2021 what an accomplishment for an 8th grader to learn about musicology and the physics of music-making. Am sure the creators and instructors will be proud of this accomplishment. I just noted this program for the Science and Music classes at the Cathedral School for Boys in San Francisco, CA USA.
The keyboard is remarkably similar to the one I made for my "hammond" organ science project in hice kool. Abrasive wheel ground the tone wheels from steel discs, wound pick-up coils around magnets. Good job, you!
This is an incredible feat and it’s so happy to see you two do it together. You’re an awesome parent for providing the resources and time. Congratulations, how cool!
Great, but the lengths of the pipes need to be exponential rather than linear. This is why the higher notes tend to sound flat. I would suggest tweaking the length of every pipe using a tuner.
I like the product, but I'm FAR more happy at the relationship the two of you have. I hope my daughter and I can do such projects in future. Great job, the both of you!! Thanks for making and sharing the video!
wow that is amazing, you must be so proud of your daughter, what a fantastic job. You have great ingenuity and vision to be able to solve some of the problems you faced and come up with the design from scratch. You have a great future ahead of you.
It's so great to see that thse days stil there are younsters that dive in to stuff the hard way and create themselve a skillset that the smartphone generation hardly possesses.
Great job Lily! Just to mention, for the length of the different pipes, you show and talk about the length in cm (centimeter), and that's what your table shows as well. It should be instead mm (milimeter). Imagine, a pipe length of 410 cm would mean a pipe of 4.1 m (meter), as one meter is equal to 100 cm (centimeter) or 1 m (one meter). "Centi" means 100 and comes from the Latin language.
Organist here -- I'm pretty impressed by your work and your interest for the subject! I wish we would have done something like this in school here in Germany... Congrats and Hats off! for the outcome of this cool project.
Wow! I am an avid organist. I love this video! As much as I love organs, I’ve never even thought about making my own! This is my new project for the 2021 year! Thanks for this video and congrats on your organ!
You should constituter a career in Organ Building we need more Organ Builders in the world and Organists . Great Job Lilly form an Organ Builder in Northern Ireland
Nice job Lilly!! Now that you know the basics, you should go help the crew at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ in the U.S. restoring the world's largest pipe organ, the mighty Midmer-Losh Opus 5550! Now *THAT'S* a project!😁👍🎵🎶🎵
THat's pretty neat! I like it. The 8 keys are all natural white... so you're in C scale or A minor. An impressive effort to make this work as well as you did.

How much does one cost???. I want to build a small one for our local church

48 year old guitar player here - this has inspired me to build something like this. Really loved how you built the valves yourself.
when the church won't let you practice for more than an hour at a time...
so you build an organ yourself
Gus Cox The church does not have an idea what makes a musician. If you love the instrument, you just love to play music.
I kinda like the joke, but you can just buy a home organ.
