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. (427K) 30K Organ - Basic Spec plus Violin register, plus glokenspiel and drums (301K) 48k Organ - Full specification. (304k) 65k Organ - Full specification. (143K)			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. We supply midi keyboards complete with PC music arranging software at £39		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.

Both Bourdon and Violin tuned 'Celeste' There are 2 x optional 16' Bass chests (not shown) The longest bass pipes can be mitred, if required.		65 key Modular Organ The 48 key and 65 key Modular organs have identical main chests (the middle chest of the three) though the 65 key has an extra Flute or Piccolo rank. 48 key customers can upgrade to 65 key at a later date, if required.
