A Nasard (or Nazard) is the French name for a stop that is called a Twelfth on English style organs because it plays a twelfth higher than the key being pressed. For the keyboards of an organ, the basis of pitch is the 8’ pipe so a Nasard is often marked as a 2 2/3’. For the pedals, the basis is the 16’ pipe so a pedal Nasard might be marked as a 5 1/3’. The reason the chest had multiple names is because the rank (set of pipes) is used for several stops. This allows the organ builder to reuse an expensive part (rank of pipes) at different pitches or between different divisions (each keyboard or the pedalboard). It also reduces the overall space needed.

@HammondDirk
@HammondDirk 2 жыл бұрын
@@bacicinvatteneaca Yes, you can use one rank of pipes for let's say 8', 4' and 2⅔' by adding just 19 pipes to the amount of keys, so if you have 61 keys, you could make these 3 registers with just 80 pipes, instead of 3 times 61 (=183) as in a classical organ. The quint is close enough to the natural quint (about 2 cents) to sound good enough. If you would use it also as a third (e.g. 1 3/5'), you would hear that it's not exactly in tune. A Hammond organ does that, the 1 3/5' gives a very typical sound, as it is slightly out of tune.
@thomasbland6428
@thomasbland6428 2 жыл бұрын
@@bacicinvatteneaca I have an extended rank of 97 pipes that is serving 5 stops for one keyboard division as well as 5 stops in the pedals. By selecting both the 8’ stop and the 4’ stop, every key played sounds the principal pitch as well as the pipe 1 octave higher. If I add the 2 2/3’ Nasard, it also plays the pipe a fifth above the octave. The Nasard is the lowest non-unison pitch that reinforces the harmonic of the fundamental 8’ pitch. In addition, it helps bind the tones of a chorus using both the 8’ and 4’ stops. BTW, a Nasard is known as a mutation stop - a stop that plays a single pitch at anything other than in unison or in octaves with the principal pitch.

Great job! Regarding the helium: It is one of the smallest gas molecules and probably leaks like hell out of the system. (It's commonly used for leak testing in high vacuum appliances ) Edit: It has nothing to do with the atom or molecule size. It but It could be the difference in density compared to air (0,166 to 1,21kg/m³) and the resulting difference in kinematic viscosity.

Helium gas mixtures have been used for many years in deep sea diving as well as in medicine for airway obstruction due to its ability to reduce the resistance to flow, thus reducing the work of breathing. It behaves like a gas lubricant, so as well as being difficult to contain due to its size, it probably made it easier for the gas to flow out of the pipes, draining the reservoir more quickly. Love it.

Fun fact: It's also used to check for leaky phone lines. Yes, phone lines. They pump air into the big cables leaving the exchange to stop water from getting in if there is a small hole, the pressure is monitored and if there is a big drop in pressure they put helium in it to go try to find the leak with a special device that listens for the helium escaping.

@@redsquirrelftw Yeah, that is very funny, thank you for that information from the last century and that before:) Also not giving any source or what is meant exactly. If undersea-cables are meant: The measurement to the failure point is done as reflection (echo) detection. Can be done in copper or fiber without any problem (and since decades). Also, as your big brain has successful identified and mentioned the failure-point of a leak(? what a strange wording ... do they leak earwax, ROTFL), f'n cables are usually built to isolate from other cable cores and THE OUTSIDE. Only a moron would build them to include the possibility of passing a gas through it, which at the same time would mean leaving space for moisture to penetrate or built up ... which is diametrically opposed to the idea of insulation. The other case, land based phone line cables ... which mostly are fiber today, too (... and the above said applies to it also). Oh and you HAVE to burry a special kind of cable (expensive!!!), that you can use devices like a "LHHLD-2002 Handheld Sniffer Leak Detector, by FLUIDX" (you guess it, expensive ... but good for that company;) ). BTW. this is such an edge-case(please check out the pdf, the manual) that it is funny, like someone telling, that you "can also fry fried eggs on edge ... with the necessary tools". Thanks for mentioning that curiosity, Red Squirrel:) (Also please note that with "morons" the company and the responsible person was meant, who bought this sh... for cable installation **g** before bankruptcy:) Hint for proper engineering: If it is really that important detecting cable failures exactly (which is anyway a meter if you have to open up the soil again and splice that punk) then you can use resistance based detection, the aforementioned echo/reflection cable measurements or you can bring in additional strands (which fulfill the second purpose of strengthening the cable, even), interconnected like f.e. a keyboard matrix to detect the "exact" place of failure. GUARANTEEING a secondary gas-pipeline function(sounds dumb, doesn't it?:) ) is not only against the safety and isolation purpose of a cable, but most likely foiled by the failure itself, the pressure of the water or soil above or ground movements caused by erosion and other natural phenomena. Stay over the radish, yeah?;)

It was a pretty hacked up instrument in its earlier incarnation. I think Sam said the previous owner did a 70s refurb of the electronics when they moved it out of the church into their home 50ish years ago. Not one to be too precious about, as it’s the pipes that would be expensive and relatively rare compared to everything else that makes it work.

Sam, most pipes are put in the chest with the pipes for the odd-numbered keys on one side and the even-numbered on the other. This gives a more symmetrical appearance side by side. When an organ tuner is working on a rank of pipes like this, they would have an assistant play every other key so they didn’t have to keep moving back and forth, side-to-side. Your tuning will go much faster. Our great division actually has 2 chests, each 10 foot apart as they flank both sides of a large stained glass window. In some churches, these could be mounted on the wall and would need a ladder for access. In those cases, you would exhaust yourself climbing up and down the ladder.
@thomasbland6428

@Richard Harrold No, the lowest key on the keyboard is note 1 then you count up chromatically. On a modern 61-note manual or a 32-note pedalboard, the lowest note is a C. Therefore, your odd note sequence is C,D,E,F#,G#,A# or 3 whites then 3 blacks. Even note sequence is C#,D#,F,G,A,B or 2 blacks then 4 whites. Since there are 12 notes in the octave, the sequence just repeats through each additional octave. BTW, it a keyboard rank was built with a 16’ extension (32’ for pedal), those might be the first 6 pipes you encounter on each side so you might start with that stop first. Likewise, if it was built with extensions on the upper end, you’ll need to switch to those to do the final pipes of the rank. If a rank was extended years after the original build, an additional chest might have been constructed to house those additional pipes. In that case, you might want to save tuning those until later.

A stopped diapason (or stopped flute) is the English equivalent of a French bourdon or German gedeckt stop. They are usually made of wood though shorter (higher pitched) pipes might be made of metal. The stopped portion of the name refers to a stopper or plug in the top of the pipe. This is opposed to an open diapason which is an open pipe. Closing the end of the pipe causes it to play an octave lower. This results in shorter, cheaper pipes.

This is awesome. You've taken an organ that was trapped within someone's walls and made an organ that could be potentially moved to different spaces and venues. I'm curious to see how you resolve the keyboard situation. Midi organs are fairly pricey as are organ foot pedals and the various stands. There's definitely a second-hand market, and you can probably make a lot of that stuff. Looking forward to seeing that part of the build.

The boards to convert an electronic organ to MIDI are pretty cheap and easy to install if you're good with soldering and lots of wires (as Sam is), and suitable organs are regularly given away on FB or eBay - I got a few that way.

I think he took all of the console with stops, pistons etc. And it was electro pneumatic to begin with so after piecing together all the wind chests regulators etc I'm sure he'll look at modernization of the console itself to be able to connect and control different ranks with the option for midi input and possibly recording but that would only make sense once the rest is all "functional" Gonna take some time but I'm stoked at the progress made so far along with all the other projects on the go in the background. It must be quite a headache at times to keep on top of all the other museum exhibits with their obsolete parts and methods of operation. Hats off to Sam.👍

Given the existing old computer exhibits and the expertise at the local micro museum to Sam's could be an interesting collaboration.🤔 I reckon once he's got the rest of it going it could be quite possible to add some percussion ranks too a'la cinema/fairground organ stylee.

The blower is probably driven by an induction motor, so that the rotation rate is roughly constant. The pressure that it can produce is proportional to the blade velocity squared times the density of the gas. Therefore, if the density goes down, the pressure goes down.

@@thomasbland6428 I just reviewed video #2 about this. He called it a rheostat, but I expect (and/or hope) that it’s really a variac (a variable transformer). The reason he’s using it is that the motor was made for 210V, but the mains power is 240V. It originally had a transformer to do that conversion, which no longer works. Most likely the motor is in fact an induction motor (i.e. it has no brushes), in which case you can’t vary its speed by varying the voltage.

@@kc9scott Not sure. Many of these blower motors are decades old, dating back prior to 1950. Our organ runs on the original motor and blower from 1932. The only change made was that there was a generator mounted parallel to the motor shaft and connected via a pulley attached to the motor shaft (the blower shaft is in-line.) The generator provided a DC voltage to power circuitry on the console and to power the valve solenoids in the pipe closet. In that early video, didn’t he slowly increase the rheostat until he had it up to voltage?

@@thomasbland6428 re: “didn’t he slowly increase the rheostat until he had it up to voltage”, yes he did, and I cringed for the sake of that motor. Not a good way to treat an induction motor, if that’s what it is. In the US, as early as the 1920s, induction motors powered the majority of blowers, but there still was the occasional DC motor here and there.

A little helium factoid - for the longest time, most helium was a waste byproduct of the oil & gas industry, especially wells in north Texas. It wasn’t until the demand for helium started climbing due to it’s medical usage to cool imaging equipment and it’s industrial use primarily in welding that needed to be done in the absence of oxygen that they started drilling wells primarily to harvest helium. (Helium is the first noble gas on the periodic table. Because it’s valence ring of electrons is filled, it will not normally react with any other element. As it is lighter than any other gas other than hydrogen, it is safer to work around as it would normally want to rise and leave your lungs if accidentally inhaled as compared to neon and argon which are heavier than most components of air and would normally sink and pool in your lungs.)
