Seek Blower for Organ Pipe Voicing Chest
By Sam Harris

I am needing a blower for a pipe voicing chest.  I have a regulator
but need a blower just large enough to wind a single chest for voicing
pipes.  Do any of you have an extra one you are willing to sell?  Does
anyone have a good source to check for a used one?

I am looking on eBay but I'm not very sure how much wind CFM would be
sufficient to wind a single pipe chest.  There is a 400 watt Ametek
150365-53 Windjammer Blower with a max pressure of 45" H2O and a max
flow of 95 SCFM.  The discharge port is 1.75"; would that be sufficient?

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.  I have
searched through the MMD Archives and others have asked questions about
blowers for small organs but it appears as though any replies were
private thus eliminating the opportunity to archive the answers here.
