Sometimes new ideas turn out to be bad. But sometimes we need the perspective of younger beginners with knowledge of new technologies and other fields. It can bring innovation.

After seeing the amazing work you've put into this it's just made me scratch my head and wonder even more, how on earth it was possible to build this into that house. Now that would have made one hell of a KZread video series if the guy did that now instead of 50 years ago.

Really would love to see more from the Organ once it's set up, your little track that is now the backing to this whole ordeal is such a great vibe!

This series has been incredible. Learning about how pipe organs work from the inside out isn't something I realized I needed.

I genuinely love the idea of someone in the future with know knowledge of what's been done to this organ having to figure out the 3d printed and electronic parts added to it 😊 hopefully it tells a story

The chest for the big flutes is a "double primary electro-pneumatic" chest. Instead of a large, powerful solenoid, instead, it uses a small, low power solenoid which sends air to a pneumatic valve. That valve then sends air to a 2nd larger valve, and that sends air to the pipe. All the chest might have been like that at some point. But its common to convert to larger solenoids when the pneumatic valves fail. Low power solenoids made sense 100 years ago when electrical grids were unreliable

not many could do such project, the perfect mix of muscial skills, engineering, bit invention, and alot genius.

This is amazing! I had organ tuition as a teenager, which included both the music and the technology of the instrument (I learned on a fully mechanical instrument - levers and strings, no solenoids!) so I was fully aware that a stopped diapason sounds an octave lower than an open diapason of the same length. However, I’ve never blown through a pipe myself, or put my hand over the end of one while it is sounding, and that was such a useful demo for musicians and physicists alike. Better than most of the demos we had in GCSE/A-level physics! Likewise the smoke test: I was theoretically aware that the majority of the airflow through the pipe comes out of the slot on the front and there is very little net flow out of the top of the pipe, but I’ve never actually *seen* it with my own eyes until now. Thanks for your hard work on the organ build, thanks for sharing your progress, and thanks also for bringing the often-snooty world of classical music and organ building to a whole new audience.

I would call the weird valve setup a pilot-operated valve and I can think of two possible reasons for them: (But they are just guesses) 1) Maybe they are an older set of pipes from an older organ where the console was entirely mechanical and due to the limited size, smaller valves within the console needed to operate the larger valves within the wind chest. 2) The pipes on this wind chest require so much air that the valve needs to open far more than the little solenoid valves could.

Could those valves be intended to have expression with varying air flow, rather than simply being full open or full closed? It'd be a bit akin to how velocity works on some electronic keyboards. Could be done with electronic solenoids, but getting it to work would be a bit more tricky than a full-open/shut setup. Would take some RC vehicle servos or voice coils rather than a simple plunger type doodad. And of course some more fun in figuring out how to drive the things.

Mate, just wondering if you've implemented a voltage drop for those solenoids into the system? If not, they may fail sooner rather than later: Once a solenoid is active, you can drop the voltage down to 5v (assuming they're 12v jobbies) and they stay closed, continuous 12v (for instance holding a key pressed too long) running at full chat (12v) will cook the solenoids!

So the question is, did you use for example PWM or something else to lower the amps used by the solenoids (the ULN2803 can't even handle more than 500mA...)?

And when I use a transistor array like you (ULN2003), they use about 700mA, but then the ULN2003 is overheating quickly (logically) and breaks, because it can't handle the amount of current. So I tried to fix that by using PWM on my arduino, but I was wondering how you did it... but I see on the video that your solenoids have a current of 950mA noted on the label. In either case, that would be too much for the ULN2003 or ULN2083. Do you (and if, how) limit the amount of current going to the solenoid to 100mA?

which solenoids you saw with 950, they are not, not that i know of. well they are just resistors in the end of the day. add resistors in series@@alexanderbunt2421 the blue ones in the bass bourdon chest possibly, but i just doubled up the uln2803 outputs. just do it and hope for the best. no need to complicate. good luck!

loving this series so far!

Oh that tune played on these pipes just wow! Goose bumps!

a normal smoke machine is not so bad it's not a good idea to do it all the time but it shouldn't do much to the bellows and pipes now a colored smoke is really bad as it will build up on all the surfaces and end up hurting all the fine control valves in the system

like i mentionned only a couple of times to see what happens :). not doing it again

I absolutely love this project. I love the fact everyone told him it was impossible even more. I found this inspiring!

I have a ton of respect for what you do. The passion and excitement for music and electronics you have is amazing to watch. Talk about following ones dreams, this is it.

Magnificent demo.

I immediately subscribed with that first organ extraction video, this has all been the best. The organ sound feels like running a cello bow over my spinal cord in a good way.

thanks Sam - loving these organ videos, always wondered how it all worked!

Sooo good , the madness for the craft and music is epic !! 🤙

i love watching this project come together!!

So amazing!

Awesome!! :D Great way to find the leaks in the piping! :D

excellent stuff!

Omg. This video brought so much joy to my night. Cheers

I am so impressed

Really well done and very interesting - thanks!

What an ideal way to find all the remaining leaks!

Man this is so great! I love this project- like totally an unexpected fun twist for the channel and the museum

This is absolutely brilliant!

One of my favorite videos from you!

It makes me so happy to know this organ has been revamped an on to a whole new life entertaining much more people, sad to see it in the state it was in the original home it was in, as amazing as that setup was! You're doing amazing work Sam!

Definitely a masterpiece! Love your videos and I can’t wait to see more organ-tech by you!!!

Well done, again!

Best end! Want more! Great project!

super cool! really sounds gr8 thru headphones.🤩

I truly love this project Sam. Amazing work lad!

I'm in awe

I love this channel - it's all just so bonkers!

Decades ago I was part of a group of people who transplanted a theatre organ from a cinema (which was changing to a bingo hall) to a community centre. This series is bringing it all back!

Sounds absolutely incredible and beautiful. When it's all done, I'd love to hear some old school songs or have a church organist come in to play it.
