Self Build Modular Organs

The 30 key organ shown above has a Violin register and 
2nd. ranks of Bourdon and Violin. The 2nd. ranks are 
tuned 'Celeste' to give the characteristic Dutch sound. 

Listen to the Modular organs:
30K Organ - Basic Spec. 

30K Organ - Basic Spec plus Violin register,
plus glokenspiel and drums 

48k Organ - Full specification.

65k Organ - Full specification.


30, 48 & 65 key Modular organs. 
The Modular organ concept was 
specially designed for amateur and 
semi-professional constructors as a 
way of building an impressive organ 
in a short period of time and at 
minimum cost. Basic assembly 
skills are all that is required.

The design is so versatile that the 
smallest 30 key version can later be 
expanded with extra pipes and 
registers and even increased in size 
to 48 key, or even 65 key.

Make your organ unique by 
designing and building your 
own case and front. Make it as 
simple or as ornate as you wish. 
Your organ will be unique.

See below for examples of 
customers finished organs.
 

Our 30, 48 and 65 key Organs are all available in modular 
kit form to fit into your own casework. The kits include 
everything you need to construct a delightful organ with
the minimum skill. All the tricky jobs like pipe voicing
tuning and wiring is completed by us and tested prior to
you taking delivery, so your organ should sound as good
as if completely made by us. 

You will need to make a suitable organ case and front, 
stick the pipes into the chest holes, connect the plugs 
to the player system and connect the blower. 
Full instructions and diagrams are supplied.
 
We have made final assembly as easy 
as possible. 
The kits comprise of 4 main parts; 
Pipes, Windchest, Blower and Casio 
midi disc player with Harmidi player 
system and assembly instructions. 
Extra music is available from our 
lists or you can have fun arranging 
music on your home PC and save to 
floppy disc to play on the Casio 
disc drive.

 
Harmidi Player System    for organs up to 65 key - How it works..

Cables from the chest are plugged in to the connectors at back of the box. Each register has its own connector and an LED  indicates register selected. The same PCB is used for
all sizes of organ making future expansion easy. If you start with a basic 30 key organ you could expand to 65 key! All driver IC's and register latching is done automatically. 
SD Midicontroller plugs into the Midi In socket on the front panel of the player system.
The SD card can hold thousands of tunes.

We supply midi keyboards complete at £76 (inc VAT)

Have fun downloading midi music 
files from the internet. Edit them on
your home computer and try them 
on your organ.
Alternately, take the easier option 
and order additional music from
 ourselves or Melvyn Wright.

The example shown above has an extra Bourdon rank and also a Violin register with second rank of pipes. Both Bourdon and Violin tuned 'Celeste'
