Hi. I'm Carl Scaggs and I am giving my first shot at building a homemade organ and I am 16 years old. After my first organ, I hope to use my experience to build an organ for a small church in my community that is unable to purchase their own. I'm currently searching for hard plans and advice on this project. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Welcome to the group Carl.Although this site does not give any plans as such it is an interesting site to visit to see what can be done in regards to a manual keyboard.
Do you know of any plans for a keyboard based organ?
You could try the following sites Roel Sinke at http://home.wanadoo.nl/roelsinke/index.htm Although in Dutch, has plans for Barrelorgans and a "House organ". A translation sheet of words is provided to help decode the language plans. The Goolge translation page should help as well.
Unfortunately the book "Organ Building for Amateurs" by Mark Wicks from Vestal Press is no longe available, as this would give you some what dated but very relevant information. Hope this helps
Drat, my age is showing (memory is not as reliable as it used to be), that book is available at The Organ Literature Foundation, who are the publishers not Vestal Press as I thought http://www.ohscatalog.org/books.html.
