Second windchest - Renaissance Positive Pipe Organ Building

[@nippocast]

Hi guys! the conclusion is almost there, I have to make the topboard and then I will make the bellows. After that the organ is complete, I will gradually build the pipes.

[@Stas-ko7]

Hello, can you tell me if the positive organ will have wooden pipes or lead pipes, such as on the large pipe organ in your workshop? And one more thing: did you make these metal pipes yourself, or did you buy them somewhere, and if you bought them, is there any delivery to Russia?

[@nippocast]

@@Stas-ko7 All wood except the 1-1/2' register which will be tin. I will build all the wooden ones and also the Regal one, while I bought the metal ones used. I don't know about shipping to Russia, you should contact some organ builder and ask.

[@Stas-ko7]

Thanks for the answer) We have much fewer organs than in Western Europe, and there are only one or two companies producing organs or pipes. I’ll look for used ones, and I’ll try wooden ones myself using materials from the Internet and your videos. There is already one, albeit a test one and made of plywood, but there is sound. Good luck with this your project!

Ah, what a joy to watch! ❤

[@nippocast]

Hi jgb! Thanks

[@fepatton]

Fantastic work as always! It's beautiful. Can't wait to see the Regal.

[@nippocast]

yes, it will be very interesting, for me too!

[@Leotheviolist]

Nice 😎🖒

[@nippocast]

Thanks!

[@Rudolf_reindeer]

Thank you for the video!

[@nippocast]

Thanks for watching

[@Ififitzisitz]

This is gonna be pretty cool. I didn't know that the entire organ was going to be so large!

[@nippocast]

yes, in fact it is no longer portative but positive

[@ThomasMagri-w8p]

Bravissimo Gianmaria ❤❤. Bellissimo progetto

[@nippocast]

Grazie!

[@jwyatt631]

Lovely work. Thank you for allowing us to observe it so thoroughly.

[@nippocast]

thank you for watching my video!

[@teo10443]

Please next video

[@nippocast]

soon

[@sirsynth225]

Glad to see the project coming to the completion phase. You keep getting better at this - RESPECT and a like of course.

[@nippocast]

yes, I want to hear the first note!

[@bendeguznemes9871]

Wery good work! However you should make a Quint stop to this organ! The disposition is wery good, but it would be much better with a Quint! 6'+6'+3'+1 1/2'+!!! 1'!!! The quint gives a lot to organs sound!

[@nippocast]

You're absolutely right, but it doesn't fit physically. I started from 2 registers, 6 and 3' and I've already reached 4. It's already challenging enough 😄

[@miket1989]

I absolutely love it. You've inspired me to start building my own organ, if I can find the time. Great video!

[@nippocast]

Thanks! yes, time is the problem

[@pyrokreisgrevenbroich7486]

Very cool! I Like These Little Organs 😊

[@nippocast]

👍

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Impressive, neat, work. Thanks!

[@nippocast]

Thank You Offshore!

[@zulfannaufalnashwan]

It turns out that the manufacturing process is complicated, it's appropriate that it takes months or even a year

[@nippocast]

yes indeed

[@luisgundel4425]

Truly amazing!!!❤

[@nippocast]

Thanks!

Buonasera Gianmaria, che colla usa con la pelle sintetica? La vinilica tiene o ci vuole altro? Grazie

[@nippocast]

Buonasera, la pelle sintetica la uso solo per i ventilabri, uso una colla vinilica per incollare il feltro alla pelle (in modo che resti flessibile) e colla calda animale per incollare il tutto al ventilabro. Nei casi in cui non uso il feltro uso solo colla calda animale, perché la vinilica pelle su legno non è affidabile. Grazie

[@Ultionem_Dorus]

I recently finished building a small prototype organ for myself, so I'm really interested in how you're going to make the pipes

[@Ultionem_Dorus]

In my prototype, I had a lot of trouble with the bellows and the regulator valve thingy, so if you could go into detail with that, I would be super happy

[@nippocast]

@@Ultionem_Dorus yes, I will show all the details

[@samueldelaunay498]

I want it !

[@nippocast]

😁

So, I'm discusing this right now with my friend, who plays the organ as a hobby (I'm more of a tinkerer). And your choice of register strikes us as odd. Normally the register is based around 8 foot. What made you choose a 6 foot register, which would the F-scale ? EDIT: I see that you transposed the scales up half an octave, judging by your manuals. But the question to why still stands.

[@Ififitzisitz]

I can imagine it's like a Melodica. Those instrument's keyboards never start in C, always on F, which I'm pretty sure is the lower octave.

[@nippocast]

Hello and thanks for the question. The project is inspired by Renaissance table organs. In that period organs were most often based on 24' or 12' pipes, and for table ones the 6' was common. In fact, historical keyboards start from F without the F sharp and the G sharp. For reasons of performance versatility I have included all the alterations. In addition to the historical reasons stated above, playing a 6' based instrument is almost like playing an 8' based instrument with a rich, full-bodied sound but in a much smaller size.
