Title: WANTED: pipework to complete house project
Post by: cverey on February 15, 2012, 09:07:46 AM
Exciting times - single manual house organ up and running! But I need the following to complete: bottom octave for small scale 4ft Principal and an octave of Bass Flute (stopt diapason?) to extend the pedal Bourdon upwards from f. Anything considered....

Well done - it's great to have a real organ at home.  There is often pipework for sale on Ebay - the difficult is matching scaling and pressure with what you already have.

Good luck,
N

Welcome to the forum.

Is your organ a self-build or an older instrument?  You may find it more economic and easier to replace rather than extend an existing rank.  However, that might not be appropriate for a historic organ or where the pipes are particularly significant.

I have a spare 8' Lieblich Gedeckt and Gamba and guess many others might have similar.  Where in the country are you and what pressure are you using?
