Your video series has been very informative. I just got a lovely 1889-ish Cornish & Co. reed organ about a month ago and your explanations on how the organ works will help me sort out some of the problems with the instrument without simply prodding in the dark.

Thank you for this video, I have been waiting a long time. I'd like to know more about the "beater bar" tremulant. I fell in love with tremulants when I started playing a local theater organ, and have been searching for a more powerful, prominent tremulant solution for a reed organ.

I've been waiting for your video on the VH with great interest because I had no idea if a) the VH on my organ was working properly and b) I was using it correctly. I'm pleasantly surprised to find out that the answer to both questions is 'yes'. P.S.- the Reeding101 series is worth watching just to listen to your recording of Handel's march from 'Scipio'- it sounds great with the reverb.

My Smith American has a beater bar tremulant on the treble side, but unfortunately ever since I had the organ restored the treble side no longer leaks enough air to set it in motion unless I'm playing about 8 reeds. I've been toying with the idea of cutting a slot in the side of the actuator dowel so that when it's in the down position (deactivating the tremulant) the slot would be completely below the felt gasket, but when it's in the upper position it would allow air in from above. Do you know if such a slot might have been part of the original design? The tremulant-control dowel is constructed so it will break if not removed before the keyboard assembly is open for servicing--something which a previous owner had done at least once with that particular dowel, and I've done at least three times, and I thus have a strong suspicion that the dowel is not original to the instrument, and thus the lack of a slot in it would imply nothing about whether the original would have had one. What approaches have you seen for providing a "baseline" level of airflow over a beater-bar tremulant?

Although it's been turned into a bar, I have an Estey organ that has a Vox Jubilante Stop. Is this the same thing as the Vox Humana, just different wording, Rodney?

Mr Jantzi- Thank you for answering my l,ast comment/email. Needless to say ai subscribe to you on youtube. I have a question concerning the organ I am restoring -the same one I mentioned to you in last correspondence. Directly on the treble side and facing the rear is a single rack of reeds whiuch app\esrt to compliment the treble stops. It consists of 30 or so reedsand has a separate soundn resonator for the treblestl\ops. What is it called and what iis its' function?

If it is a separate wood chamber up to 12 inches deep that the reeds speak into, that would most often be referred to as a qualifying tube. But it could also be a swell box going by your description - if there is a flap that moves when you use the right knee swell or open the forte stop, then it is a swell...
