Street Organ how it works

Street Organ how it works

[@TheMovieCreator]

Yes, there is a formula. It's all about standing waves, and in an organ pipe (which is closed in one end and open in the other), the base wavelenght of the note is four times the length of the pipe. Then take the speed of sound and divide it with the wavelenght to get the frequency. To convert between frequncy values and tone letter, you will need to take reference in A4 (440Hz), and deduce how many halfsteps away you are. One half step is a frequency factor of the 12th root of 2.

I found the bracket that clamps to the shaft that was made from Walnut had cracked I replaced it with a new Hard Maple one and installed a screw as John said and all is well. Thanks John your comments mean a lot to me.

[@levicurry4815162342]

Very cool video. I couldn't make out how these things work until I watched your video.

[@donnabendelow1907]

Very interesting

[@Khamomil]

This is so cute, and I love the sound, it makes me happy. I'm sure it's a good antidepressant, better than pills. Play it to gloomy folks to cheer them up.

Hi Jay, I recently discovered your "Organ Build" forum on the Family Woodworking site. What a great way to share the joy and satisfaction of amateur organ building! Keep up the good work! dan

[@zolacnomiko]

Thank you! The explanation on Wikipedia was not helping me to understand how this works. What a cool machine!

[@jrzzrj]

It's ok to use the word "mitered pipes" instead of "curved around"...@ 1:06 ....lol....It has a really pleasant and well tuned sound!

[@woodman928]

Hey I was nervous LOL

[@fredkeller3813]

That was awesome thank you! I asked my 96 year-old mother if she remembered these, to which she said oh yes!

[@gemmadan]

What a nice little video, thank you for posting it. This is a john Smith Senior 20 virtually finished, the sticking music could be that the take up spool securing screw has no proper drilling to locate in, try it ! It is so nice to see another one of my organs having been built closely to the plans sounding so well. with a nice front and the conductor this will be another one for the builder to be truley proud of. How a bout a video of the Universal I see in a background please. John Smith

[@RenaissancePeopleNYC]

absolutely magnificent! Are these instruments available? Thanks for a great video!

[@igehring]

this is so cool ! wish I could have one to give to my mama

[@adrianreyes4702]

This is one of the most brilliantly designed instruments I have ever seen. Ingenious!

[@Snyper1188]

Very cool! This video answered my questions on how it worked. Thanks so much! Cheers :)

[@dennisspinkshappyforbusker2523]

Try monitoring the pressure box rewind hole woth you water guage.

[@jtdw10]

Wow that's cool! I'm reading a book about WWII and one of the characters is an "organ grinder" I had no idea what that was, til I found this video! Thanks for teaching me something new today!😊

[@mikeadair]

Thank you so much for posting this. I've really wanted to see how these look on the inside while in operation. I'd like to some day build one of these. Nice craftsmanship!

[@leosworkshoppe5514]

[@Rythymoxide2020]

Is there a formula for the length of pipe to what note and in what octive that length of pipe would play or is it just guess work?

[@theorganguy]
