Thank you for posting this video. I had to listen to the last part a couple times. This is quite the achievement. Not many people could construct an instrument as nice as yours.
Sounds like one of those merry-go-round organs, especially what with the style of music you chose. In fact, all pipe organs are like that, except that the concert pipe organ has so many "ranks" of these pipes that, when combined, they sound more pipe-organ-ish. In fact, when organists literally pull out all of the stops, that is when the stereotypical sound of the pipe organ is heard.
In the music (Bugler's Holiday) I really liked the sound of the mad flute from 3:26 onwards, added an indescribable crazy charm characteristic of 1930s jazz. I loved it! In the music (Bugler's Holiday) Eu realmente gostei do som da flauta louca apartir do momento 3:26 , acresceu um indiscritivel charme maluco característico do jazz da decada de 30. Eu adorei!
I was one year old when Leroy Anderson composed Buggler's Holliday in 1954. This tune served as a jingle for a broadcast on French-speaking Swiss radio (Geneva or Lausanne). If anyone remembers... Thank you for bringing it back to life in this “Popeye” atmosphere!
Agreed. This can be sold in the market for millions including installation. This guy can generate employment by production of these. Very good. If possible, he/she needs to make them affordable to sell more units.
You must be an organ builder as your occupation in life? Either that, or a mechanical engineer, computer software developer, and quite the musician, by the way (I noticed that Hammond Organ, as well as a digital keyboard), but the organ itself looks to he something a professional would build, albeit on a small scale, positif style built out of mostly wooden chimney flutes with at least one small rank of metal pipes in front. It has that calliope sound to it, without using steam, and you started out with it sounding like chimes or even an electric piano. Then, the windchest before the pipes were installed could be heard and all of this controlled by a computer, wow, that is some talent and a way to do a really great job!
That is NOT a rank of small pipes, it is the top octave of the Bourdon (Not chimney flutes.) Those pipes are too small to make in wood. The typical practice was to make the top octave of open metal. You can see there are only 12 pipes - 1 octace. Nice sound though - Kind of funny. He went to a lot of trouble putting little ferrules under the electric pipe valves. Normally they would mount sirectly on the toe board. I not he also used a ball miss to recess the toes of the pipes - Not necessary. They are usually a 45 degree countersunk made by burning with a hot iron in a drill press.
Does the controller have a means to suppress the arcing from the electromagnets. We always installed diodes to suppress the arcing as it would cause problems with the contacts, they would burn out. The mounting on a ground strip is a neat feature, although the wood may cause the screw to loosen if it is not kept at a constant humidity. We used to bound the negatives together with bare copper wire soldered to the leads. As to comments about the magnets being unsuitable for tremolos I don’t see it as a problem as others did. The best vibrato is from a Voix Celeste which is two stops being slightly out of tune, not from changing the air pressure. Lastly, I would say that a reworking of the air supply might be in order. The blower, bellows and supply all play a major part of any organ. To my ear the notes go flat as they sound, and with multiple notes the problem is compounded. A blower that is adequate to do the job is vital but may not be economical so I would suggest A larger capacity bellows along with a larger pipe between the bellows and chest would help with the tone of your organ. The bigger the better so as to avoid going flat when playing multiple notes. I share this as my father always tried to improve the organs he maintained and built. Some lessons where learnt by his own error and many by others.
Pressure is likely to be about 4 to 5 inches. Those pipes are old. possibly from a Wicks or similar builder. Kimball would be about 5" The only thing new about this rig is the chest and the valve seats. The magnets are salvaged from an old WIcks organ and some are new from ???
The top board screws should have a spring between two washers to maintain tension regardless of humidity conditions. Don't go postal on me. You have done a great amount of work and I appreciate that fact. Did you ever consider electro pneumatic action instead of direct electric? Direct electric won't work with a heavy tremulant.
With all the books, pipe organs and organ builders - not to mention used equipment, why is sometthing so awkward made. It is nice to do it. No mistaking that. But why not use proven and practical technology. Love the wind pressure gauge. Well it was fun and you learned a lot about the power of pneumatics. Best of all - it works. The pipes, a set of Swell bourdons???
Direct valve actions won't work on a theatre organ because the valves bounce with deep tremulant. In this case it works because the pressure is low and no tremulant.
Hello Great video. I would to follow you footsteps in this musical hobby. Where did you master the techniques? I'm fortunate to have recently discovered 40 wood organ pipes and a collection of manifolds which I have dream to reassembly in some fashion. Really could use some guidance from you. If I could some questions: What resources did to have available? Computer controls and software? Type of air source pressure and volume? How can put this together??? Hope to hear from you
To build the chests you need a table saw, a drill press, assortment of drills, preferrable brad point, from about 1/8" up to 1/2". You might want a 4" hole saw. The magnets can be from Reisner (601) or Wicks. There are others made by Klann. The pipes can be purchased on E-bay or fro your local organ builder. Check the yellow pages. The wiring is telephone cable for use in the Central office. The wires are color coded. Blower - A big shop vacuum will provide wnough air if the pipes are on 3 to 4 " of wind pressure. Computer controls... Peterson EMP in Alsop, Illinois. (Peterson EMP.Com) or Syndyne in Washington. Tools, screw drivers - phillips would be good for the phillips head wood screws. Bass wood, clear white pine, Poplar. The poplar you might get at Home Depot. The rack board is 1/2" plywood - From Home Plus (birch veneer) Carefully observe the way the chest in this posting is built and how the pipes are supported. It is all pretty simple - Remember, organ builders have been doing this since about 1200. With your education and modern tools, this becomes very simple. More instructions. - write back.

Sei que parece meio clichê, mas poderia programar a música "O Cachimbo Do Marinheiro" nessa máquina? Notei que ela é a mais completa dentre muitas que ja ví."
I know it sounds a bit cliché, but could you program the song "Mr Pipe" on this machine? I noticed that she's the most complete of many I've ever seen. "
What a beautiful, wonderful, crazy contraption. pure art and steampunk all rolled into one. Thank you
A big amen to that.

1:15 is so funny for some reason!
passing gas? lol
Bitboxing
Sounds like when I fart
Nice
You're supposed to hear music but instead it's a bunch of disorganized blasts of air coming out of many holes in perfect time
If I built one of these, I would have it play all the Roller Coaster Tycoon merry-go-round songs, on repeat, 24/7. Then, my life would be complete.
You did it ! Surprised ! Thank you. 小林憲一郎 72 years old.from Japan. 2019/12/26

I'm very fine today and how about your pipe organ ? 小林憲一郎 73 years old. from Japan. 2021/1/12
Your neighbors must love you.
I'm chuckling, not so much with amusement, but delight !
The song is the Bugler's Holiday
Almost sounds like the theme from Hogan's Heros
Who knew Gedakt pipes could be so melodious?
they sound loud!
Some organs have a 'Lieblicht gedackt' that's especially designed for use as a solo voice.
I want to mount this in the back seat of my convertible.
Best car sound system....ever!

Actually, the stereotype comes form the principal pipes, or Diapason.

Why waste time sitting around watching tv shows and sports games when you can build something like this?
johnboersma.nl can help with that.
Can I?
no money
no idea how to create one
Agreed. This can be sold in the market for millions including installation. This guy can generate employment by production of these. Very good. If possible, he/she needs to make them affordable to sell more units.
Add some decoration and this will turn into a self playing organ that were once popular in the 1800s! It sounds legendary!!
gorgeous! now all it needs is a gorgeous cabinet, with ornate inlays and ormolu details with chippendale legs
Pretty amazing. Very nice craftsmanship. Congratulations!
When you enter an abandoned attic and you hear a old music box play this....run!
i would def stay, thats a sick tune!
Love it!! What a lot of skill has gone into this.
That’s unbelievably pleasant.

@@organbuilder272 Sounded pretty good to me. How many have you made?

Interesting to see a windchest play without pipes :) 1:21
FABULOUS!! I wonder what Bach would have thought.
Oh yeah
Loved the row of electronic tap dancers.
This channel hasn’t posted anything since. Wow.
I even recognize the Bugler's Holiday.
I was looking for the name of this tune in the comments, thank you!
Well done and really nice sounds.
favorite video on the internet
THIS NEEDS TO PLAY SUPER MARIO, RIGHT NOW
The pressure of the air in the windchest must be kind of a highg as the holes without pipes are whistling by themselves :O How much pressure you have?
Pressure is likely to be about 4 to 5 inches. Those pipes are old. possibly from a Wicks or similar builder. Kimball would be about 5" The only thing new about this rig is the chest and the valve seats. The magnets are salvaged from an old WIcks organ and some are new from ???
@@organbuilder272 Are you able to make tin pipes by yourself ?
Quite an incredible monstrosity you have there, sir!

Song: Bugler's Holiday
i've always wanted to build an organ but I can't get a hold of pipes, windchests, and blowers.
With all the books, pipe organs and organ builders - not to mention used equipment, why is sometthing so awkward made. It is nice to do it. No mistaking that. But why not use proven and practical technology. Love the wind pressure gauge. Well it was fun and you learned a lot about the power of pneumatics. Best of all - it works. The pipes, a set of Swell bourdons???
Those air pipes on the first one turn the tune into dubstep!
Direct valve actions won't work on a theatre organ because the valves bounce with deep tremulant. In this case it works because the pressure is low and no tremulant.
It sounds really nice
I missed my calling. Outstanding. My wife wouldn't have been thrilled, so I would have had to keep it in my man cave.

The air exhausts go hard
Thank you for posting this video.. it help my son (7yo) to understand how pipe organ works😁
So great!
At first I thought the magnets would each fire a wooden mallet against a vibraphone below!
Amazing, well done ... much fun ... reminds me of a calliope and the circus.
Pipe organ starts at 2:06
What a joy!
I have a Hammond M-143 like yours. I think yours is hooked to the Leslie. Is that so? What kit should be used to split out the audio?
Wow, great piece of work 👍I love it. You triggered me to build 1 of my own, are there some buildingschedules ?

What did you use for a blower? Did you make the regulator? How many inches of wind pressure did you use?
На 3:30 прямо в уши бьёт диссонанс, если не ошибаюсь. А так ваш труд выше всех похвал.
For this particular song, you'll need a Chorus Reed Stop.
So good
+emi78rpm *Looks as though ye've built a pitman chest and a bell rack.* Loaded Time 2:12 with _Holzgedecktpfeifen,_ plus thirteen principals in front.
Very cool!
Extraordinary!
……phantastic ❤❤ what music is it?
What is the wind pressure ?
Wow so cool!
you should have it play "Circus Gallop"
I played this song on the trumpet!!! Does anyone know of any good piccolo trumpets for $500 or under?

Excellent! Is there a MIDI interface for the music player?
Just brilliant!
Hi und Halloooo, wer bietet die Midi-Elektronik an? BG aus D. Pustekuchen, leider keine Antwort.
It is 2 gr8. Such engineering prowess, doing God's work indeed.
I like the asthmatic bit.....

Thats so awesome
that is amazing!!
Sounds like a Carnival.
I remember that video
WOW 🎉 the music is beautiful 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That is very cool! Where did you get the pipes?
Foam pipes at 1:14
Oh man that sound is horrible definitely isn’t meant to be heard from there
Magnifique !
nice work
This would be interesting with a tremulant, just as an optional tab
Those pipes could use a good tuning 😂 but that’s a really neat pipe setup that you’ve got there.
This song has to become a meme.
시계와 연동해서 아침에 모닝콜로 사용한다면 정말 멋질것 같네요.
Well done!
Heck if he could he could make it an actual mobile organ like they used to use in fairs back in the old old days
what is the beautiful song that it is playing
Buglers holiday
brilliant!

How Does He Have Only 3 Videos?
Is that the wooden stopped diapason or lebrich gedackt pipes?
Some of the small metal pipes have little stoppers in them
The little high pitched sound is from the small pipes
The metal ones
Makes me feel like I’m in Bavaria
That shit is so funny honestly
👍....fantastic
What the hell is with the forty thumbs down? What a sorry bunch of losers! This is an extremely fascinating video. I absolutely LOVED IT!!!
