Dave Clark asked about wooden pipe voicing. The pipe organ people
probably would be a good source of information, as Jody suggested. But
Dave should keep in mind that band organ pipes are blown at
significantly higher pressure than pipe organ pipes. Therefore he
might want to check whatever he learns against the observations of
people who are experienced in building band organs from scratch. Some
who have: Ken Smith, Paul Dyer, Steve Lanick, Dave Wasson, and Don
Stinson. Since Don is in the band organ building business, he may be
very tight-lippedon the subject. All these namesare in the
directories, and they will also probably be at the North Tonawanda band
organ rally. (I am sending in my reservation today).
