Plans for Wood Violin Pipes
By Harold M. Whipps Sr.

Hi Bruce and All,  First, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
As for the violin pipe drawings, I have a one-page drawing given me
by Ken Smith.  It is for one of the ranks in the Gavioli he built.

The drawing was made May of 1972.  The pipes are from A# to G#.  The
A# pipe is 15-13/16" total length, down to 5-9/16" for the G# pipe.
I can make a copy if wanted; cannot make any promises on the quality.
It has been in a three-ring binder for all the ensuing years.
