    Super cool build! Ive been working on a small DIY organ and can't believe I've never heard of slider chests, that's an absolutely brilliant bit of design.

    There are actually quite a few different ways that organ “action” can be set up. The slider chest arrangement was used throughout most of history before the advent of electricity and the electromagnet. The sliders then were connected from the key to the pipe channel (or note channel) via trackers. Trackers were made out of small pieces of wood that were cut square. The stops were connected to the stop channels via the same type of wooden tracker. They are known as tracker action organs. With electricity, organ builders started to use new types of action, electro-pneumatic, direct action, electric slider chests, and some others. I really like the slider chest design. From the technical side of things, There are fewer electromagnets to have to repair, the chests are much more simple, and they usually have a much longer life than some of the other chest designs. This is an awesome setup that he has!

    Good job Trent! Welcome to the club of home pipe organs. Have one myself, 2 manual and pedal 3 rank Kilgen built in 1947. Also tuning wise, are you tuning to A440 @ 70*F with an equal temperament.?

    I'm tuning to equal temperament, but the actual pitch fluctuates. Last tuning was 436Hz, because that's the closest to what the pipes were speaking.

    so if your lowest note is 15 or 16 feet that's I guess around E1 or D1? That's decent, the same length as a tuba. Any plans to go lower or is your house too small? I was trying to calculate it by hand was getting 70 hertz but forgot that with 1 end closed it's a half wavelength instrument not the full wavelength so the lowest note should be 35 hertz.

    If I recall correctly, a 16' would be 32hz at its lowest. A 32' rank would sound at 16hz and the ultra rare 64' bottoms out at 8hz.

    No, C1. Same note as the lowest C on the piano keyboard. It's an open pipe.
