I'd very much like to contribute to this thread but, unfortunately, I lack the skills needed to play!
Nevertheless, I look forward to benefiting from others' experiences.

You are right it is 8ft.
I understand that the leather motors are in a bad state and have been for some time.

I often wonder about those who seem to spend half their lives peering at the screens of their mobile devices, or have them welded to their ears, and are completely oblivious to their surroundings.

Hi!
Glass pipes could be used quite easily as the resonators mounted on conventional metal to the languid . . . sitting on a rim soldered on. The effect could be extraordinarily beautiful and Helmholtz would have approved.
Plastic drain pipes were used by an amateur in the 1990s in Hastings - sadly I have lost his details - but he made a home organ with such pipes as well as a more extensive church instrument for a church in Czech Republic where metal theft was feared.
It would be interesting to see someone else take on the idea. They were plastic drain pipes from the local builders' merchant
Best wishes

Hi,
I wonder if it would be possible to obtain a Harmonium / Reed Organ and then renovate this instrument. I would think that some of the techniques such as woodwork, felt, releathering would be in common with a Pipe Organ ?
there is also the tuning and regulation of the Reeds which might actually be more complex than Tuning a Pipe Organ.
the Logistics of moving a Harmonium / Reed Organ is probably easier than moving a Pipe Organ ?
But I stand to be corrected !

I would think a capacitor, but I'm no expert (hence why I'm asking on here).
