The wooden keyboard - Renaissance Positive Pipe Organ Building
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- In this video series I will build a Renaissance style table positive pipe organ.
In this video I will build the wooden keyboard.
Topic of the video, air distribution.
It will have 2 manuals and two stops, a stopped 6' an open 3' and 1.5', with sounds suitable for the Renaissance/Baroque repertoire.
The challenge is that it will be ultra compact without sacrificing sound.
The construction will be traditional, with some modern concessions, such as the use of the electric fan and some technical materials such as ducts to carry the air, the aliphatic glue for some parts, etc.
If you want to support the project you can subscribe to the channel and leave a like.
Additionally, I also have a Patreon channel: patreon.com/nippocast
It's been a while, but I preferred to complete the first keyboard before posting the video. Good vision!
Just wow! ❤
Big respect for the attention to detail and build quality.
The system to control the upper manual by linking the keys is wonderful - almost like adding a sub- or supra-octave oscillator on a synth.
Thanks for sharing your skilled craftmanship again!
Thanks a lot sir!
hai fatto progressi straordinari dall'inizio del tuo canale! Bravo!
Grazie mille!
Oh my gosh! It's coming together!! I can't wait to see it when it's done!
Me too!
I tuoi video sono meravigliosi, ancora di più con il dettaglio del canto degli uccellini alle 9:02.... un grande abbraccio da questo brasiliano che ti ammiro moltissimo, un grande fan del tuo lavoro.
Grazie Sergio, ho visto il tuo organetto, bellissimo.
@@nippocast Grazie mille Maestro GianMaria, ho realizzato il mio organetto ispirandomi al tuo meraviglioso lavoro, ora ne sto progettando un altro, terminata la costruzione del mio violino inizierò il nuovo organetto. grazie mille
Fine work. Thanks for allowing us to observe your craftsmanship.
Thank You!
As always, well and clearly presented! Thank you for the high-quality and beautiful work! I admire and shake your hand!
Thans for your comment!
I hope that you will be able to fit the regal stop in this beauty.
I have the possibility to insert another stop, I have to choose whether an 8' regal or a 2' octave
@@nippocast Well that is a hard choice. Octave will give you richer tone while Regal would bring much more contrast. I wish you a wise decision (while also rooting for Regal...)
Absolutely stunning work! My pipe organ seems massively over-engineered in comparison.
Thank You!
Wonderfully made and conferred and explained! I am once again astonished by your craftmanship... encore!!! 👍
Thank You!
Ciao GianMaria, I continue to learn from your video's. The kerf of your bandsaw is the space between keys, is this about 0.8mm?. I never understood keyboard coupling as I'm familiar with electro pneumatic, not tracker so much, this illustration clears up my confusion. I'm confident the background music are your fingers and your parlor organ, are these published works? or are they practice arpeggio's? I can't identify them, they are pleasing to listen to. Perhaps on a future video, you can share these if they are not already available.
Thanks, I'm glad I was helpful. Yes, that's me playing. The first piece is just a test, the second is published on my channel BWV639
Like your organ ❤
Thanks!
Great work !
Thanks!
it is a good day when you upload
Thank You!
@@nippocast do you have any advice on pump organs? I have an 1860s mason&hamlin and it has some issues (non playing notes, strange sounds and broken tremolo)
Great!! Is it a special king of brass you use for the hinges? the brass I have at home wouldn't do, it bends too easily and would spring back less and less over time I guess ; but maybe there is "spring brass" as there is "spring steel"…
Exactly, this is hard-drawn brass, suitable for springs
@@nippocast Hello, awesome work! can you tell me what the thickness of the brass plates is? Can this be ordered somewhere?
What kind of veneer did you use on the keyboard?
Ziricote wood
What is that piece at 10:56?
Felt
I think he means what MUSIC : Bach's BWV639 "Ich ruf' zu dir Herr Jesu Christ", your own version obviously…
@@francoisbruel9163 Sorry, of course
Yes thank you.

Is there a way to prevent the lower keyboard from accidental sliding while playing or are you relying on friction alone?
When you play the mechanics hold the keyboard still. It can only be moved when you are not playing. I'll see if a locating sphere will be needed, but I think not.
Thank you
Hi, respect for all your work! It awesome! Tell me please what literature did you learn to know all these subtleties?
Thanks! "l'art du facteur d'orgues" "The art of organ buildings" "Dictionary of Pipe Organ Stops" "Organ Building and Design" and many more...
Magnífico 👍👌👏👏👏
Grazie!
Wow, I love your work. Is there a link where I can download or buy your AutoCad drawings?
Thanks! If you are interested i have a portative organ Plan.
8:23 is there a technical name for those decorative pieces on the front of the keys?
Some call them faceplates, some call them key noses, but I don't know if there's a technical term.
First thing to recognize as a organbuilder is the Weiblen pen😂
Ok, you got me. 😂
Why not a C/E short octave in the bass?
Thanks for the question. Because it is an organ based on the 6', that is, it starts from F, like the historical Renaissance keyboards.
I thought about making the more common C/E keyboard but I would have had to base it on the 4', because an 8' would be unthinkable on such a small instrument, and the sound would have been too high-pitched.
The first piece of music playing in the background for a short time in this video. Which piece was it?
first few bars of Bach's lute prelude BWV999 in C minor if memory serves me well
@@francoisbruel9163 Yes!
@@francoisbruel9163 yes, that's it, thank you.
Do you only intend to couple the 1st manual to the second?
I still have to see if it's technically possible to couple 2 to 1, given the limited space
