Mr. Kleinbauer has revised his book and it is now called "How to Build a Simple Mechanical Organ." The organ is constructed from parts available at most hardware stores. The revised edition has updated drawings and uses harmonica reeds to produce sound. The basic design can be adapted to suit your needs or create your own design.

John Kleinbauer's "How to Build a Simple Mechanical Organ" is 63 pages long and contains over 100 detailed, computer-generated, drawings and straightforward instructions which will enable you to build a barrel organ from parts that are easily available. Hobbyists and engineers alike will find this manual quite useful. I myself have never worked on a project such as this one. However, John's drawings and instructions are so clear, he makes me feel like even I can build a barrel organ! For sample drawings, see below.

Note to international buyers: The measurements for this organ are in inches so you may need to convert to metric.
