As an professional german pipe organ builder, all i can say is well done! Really good! Highly qualitative craftmenship and the sound is really nice, too! I draw my hat for you for building this nice instrument! Have fun and keep up the good work!
Oooof I just finished entire build series! Awesome work! Meraviglioso! I will surely come back multiple times to those videos for help when I finally start building my own :D Now I must watch your other videos. Saluti!
Thanks! After playing it for 2 years I can say that in general the portative organ satisfies me very much with the way it sounds: good timbre and good volume. I would definitely improve the playability (very large and heavy bellows - good on one side but a little difficult to play) and the portability of the instrument by making it lighter and smaller.
Amazing videos. Very inspiring. any chance you have some technical drawings available, I'm mainly interested in the soundboard and windchest. I've researched many sites, and publications such as "How to build a Portativa Oragan by David Swan". but the drawings are terrible and I think its mostly theory.
thank you. in reality I am writing a book with all the detailed projects, I would have liked to finish it already but the time is short and it is going slowly. I hope to finish it soon
CONGRATULATIONS and BRAVO! It's beautiful in every way! I've followed the build from the very first video, and I'm in awe of your skills, care and artistry. I'd love one of these myself. Yes, I can imagine that it will take a lot of learning to play expressively, with sensitivity in the bellows hand. I can't wait to hear the results of the final "polishing" of the voicing!
@@nippocast Thanks and cheers! I play organ too, and I hope to put a few more videos up gradually. I have a large Hauptwerk set-up, and a real 4-stop positive organ which needs some work before it's really playable.
congratulazioni maestro, sto progettando il mio organetto di 32 note. e costruire un positivo su cinque registri. il positivo un progetto di John Boersma. Qui in Brasile ho avuto il privilegio di lavorare con il maestro organaro Georg Jann, da lui ho imparato molto. E il tuo lavoro mi ha dato la forza per disegnare il mio organetto. Grazie mille per aver condiviso il tuo meraviglioso lavoro, Dio ti benedica e ti protegga, e lunga vita a illuminarci con molte altre opere. Per favore, come ti chiami?
grazie per aver fatto vedere come si accorda di fino la canna d'organo. è venuto uno splendore. hai le mani d'oro, bravo. 3:35 il temperamento non so cosa sia, ma penso che per me sia sufficiente, spero, l'accordatura che hai fatto nel video. l'accordatore elettronico che hai usato è lo stesso che si usa anche per il violino? non finirò mai di ringraziarti :)
What an impressive work you have done! Horatius' text "Exegi monumentum aere perennius" comes to mind. Beautiful building project and now hoping to hear it play in a small church. BRAVO again and again!
Hello! It turned out to be a very beautiful and sonorous instrument. I want to remind you that you promised to show how to constructively connect the outputs of the keyboard block with the inputs of the pipe organ block. You can show a block sketch instead of a video. Thanks. Boris. St. Petersburg (Russia).
Complimenti, direi che è venuto benissimo e bellissimo. Le canne hanno un suono dolce, poi i vari colori naturali dei legni lo rendono stupendo, lo preferisco a quelli con le canne di stagno piombo. Ciao
Thanks! Actually I'm just putting down the projects of all my instruments, they will be available for purchase directly on the channel shortly, did you need it right away or can you wait?
@@nippocast Sounds great, I'm happy to wait.I'm in the process of the design now, already having the pipes and the keyboard. Some idea of the dimensions of various parts and how best to fit them altogether would be really helpful. I am in the UK and there is not a huge amount of information around. Thanks for your help.
@@simonhamblin4340 yeah, exactly, I show everything in my videos, but I realize that having a project with all the measurements would help a lot those who want to come across the building
I have just binge watched the whole build. I am very impressed. You have great building skills. I never thought such a small organ could end up sounding so good. I hope you will build more projects😃
Lavoro meraviglioso! Complimenti vivissimi!! I video tutorial sono fatti benissimo. Una grande risorsa per gli amanti dell’organaria. Vorrei riuscire a capire di più i “misteri” del l’intonazione delle canne. In particolare su dove agire per modificare e correggere il suono. Sulle canne di legno penso sia un’operazione delicatissima perché è difficile tornare indietro se si fanno degli errori. Ad esempio a parità di altezza di bocca e di pressione che effetti ha la direzione della lama d’aria (più verso l’interno o verso l’esterno) ? In un video ne parli ma ho capito, per mia scarsa preparazione, poco. Poi la forma del labbro superiore più o meno tagliente come influisce sull’attacco? E come rendere il transitorio d’attacco meno rude? Sarebbe bello un tuo video per spiegare più dettagliatamente l’intonazione. Sei un didatta eccezionale! Grazie !
@@nippocast Bellissima notizia! Attendo con trepidazione. Ho riguardato il video dove mostri gli effetti della posizione del coperchio sul suono e qualcosa in più credo di aver capito ma i misteri sono tanti. Grazie ed ancora complimenti per il magnifico lavoro!
Incredible. Can a pallet box like your portative organ be used for a larger scale instrument? That is, adding sliders and perhaps holes for two different timbres on the windchest? Two stops, basically.
@@nippocast Thank you! But the pallets can be the same size, right? Because the first organ with multiple stops that you built seems to have the same size pallets and channels for the 2 foot and 4 foot. I could probably just do a separate windchest for the 8 foot, right? (I just plan to have 3 stops)
@@ethanzuo586 No, they are slightly different, more larger for the lower notes. I only have one windchest for all 3 stops, 8'-4' and 2'. the slot under the pallets must be large enough to feed all three stops, indicatively, for a small three stops organ, it starts from 16mm in width for the lowest notes and scales up to 8mm for the highest notes, and at least 60mm in length. The other windchest that you saw is for the pedalboard.
Muito bom! Meus Parabéns pelo belo trabalho e arte! O som ficou maravilhoso! E A música foi muito bem tocada! Um dia pretendo fazer um órgão desse pra mim. Para isto ainda vou estudar muito o seu trabalho. Mais uma vez, Meus parabéns e muito obrigado por postar esse tesouro conosco! Saudações! Tudo de bom para o senhor!
@@nippocast Could I ask why choosing open wooden pipes instead of closed pipes, since I find most chest organ used closed pipes, but portative organ used open wooden pipes a lot. Thanks.
@@dlwangxiaohu because they sound louder, they have more harmonics, they have a unique airy timbre, and yes, they are also more difficult to make them sound good. Closed pipes, in this kind of instruments, are very good for small portative organs and if you need a very sweet and delicate sound.
Ficou super fixe!!! Confesso que tava ansioso para ver o órgão pronto, e não tinha ideia do quanto complexo era contruir! Espero um dia conseguir construir um para mim ahah. Parabéns e saudações de Portugal 😁🤩
Finally! but now I have to learn how to play it, it's not that simple. I hope you enjoyed the series.

Hi BuiltFourFun, Thanks!
Congratulations! The result is very good!
Thanks!
That was very satisfying :)
Great job!
Thanks MegaCadr!
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks!
That is really impressive! I would like to ask how you evaluate this portative pipe organ now(after two years), and what can be improved?😄

I would definitely improve the playability (very large and heavy bellows - good on one side but a little difficult to play) and the portability of the instrument by making it lighter and smaller.

it's a truly beautiful instrument and, to my untrained ear, it sounds so good just as it is.
Thanks Ken!
Very nice. I like the lovely sound, especially combined with tremolo like you did with the bellows!
Thanks JGB!

sure, but if you use bigger registers, for example 4' or 8' you have to resize the channels
@@nippocast Oh, I see. Does 8' need twice as much air as 4'? Or are the larger channels just for the larger toes of the pipes?

simplely bravo! Could I ask why set the tuning level at 432hz?
Thanks!, according to experts, the tuning of medieval / renaissance instruments had a lower tuning fork, about at 430 Hz

Beautiful! Do you have already new organ ideas :D
Absolutely, but for the next year
Sounds great. Can you estimate how many hours it took to build in total?
Thanks John, I still have to calculate them, in the next video I will summarize everything
