Doug,

I too would be interested in double acting bellows. Not sure if anyone around has a set of "easy to build" plans laying around.

Would be nice to sneak a peak.

I have built the above many times but not to any plans. 1 will post something soon but need to draw them up first.

This is one I put together for someone just to show how they worked.

I have some plans that are for Gavioli style bellows. They are actually 4 bellows that work slightly offset from one another to keep a solid air supply, I think these were from a man by the name of Roy Norman?? They were from plans to build a 28 note organ that used Wurlitzer Rolls.
It took my dad & I all summer to build them. I will see if I can find them when I go back to Illinois. They were not well drawn, thats why it took all summer. I had a professional organ restoration expert to look at them and even he had trouble following what was going on. They do put the air out.
