RESIDENCE PIPE ORGAN PROJECT

 

This site was born out of my recent re-immersion into the world of amateur pipe organ construction. While in high school I did some professional organ repair work, and in the process collected many ranks of organ pipes and many other organ parts as the beginning of a long-term project to construct a rather large residence pipe organ. The entire project had to be put aside when I went to college and remained dormant while I worked on starting my own business. Recently I began to take inventory of my collection, and have been reorganizing the parts I intend to use and getting rid of the ones I don't in order to reclaim space. I figured that, if I was going to start documenting my collection and working on formal plans for the instrument's assembly, it might be helpful to others with the same hobby to share that information here on the Internet.

Instead of installing a traditional console, I will be using several commercially-available 61-key MIDI keyboards for the manuals, and a touch-sensitive MIDI pedalboard I made by wiring an AGO-standard pedalboard to a small MIDI keyboard. I am currently investigating the method by which I will connect my MIDI setup (which includes a computer for sequencing, as well as several synthesizers) to the organ's relay banks.

This site has only just begun to be assembled and is very much a work in progress; more information and pictures will be posted as time permits.
