Portative DIY pipe organ test

The valves work well. There is one place where a valve affects another valve when pressed.

The keys works fine.

The windshield also works fine and it is sufficiently airtight to the system works.

The bellows works, but they are too noisy. Perhaps oilcloth should be used instead of tarpaulin.

The pitch of a pipe is not stable and tends to be changed from time to time, or even disappear.

It has been harder to get a good tone for the short pipes than the longer ones.

When making the organ pipes, it is not optimal to use plastic tubes. Small selection of tubes with fixed diameter.

It is not optimal to use plastic tubes to create the organ pipes, as it is bonded to diameters which are determined by the selection of tubes which can be bought. I originally chose to make the pipes of plastic tubes because it was relatively easy to create a functioning flue pipe.

The pipes should be made of a material such as paper, cardboard or paper mache where you better can determine the design of the pipe. The languid in the pipe may be made of clay.
