I most appreciated the "above-view" (with the top open), showing what is going on inside. Question 1: Is the torque needed to create the vacuum (my assumption) and move the paper roll so high to justify such a long crank arm? Question 2: What do the "knobs" activated by the operator with his left hand do?
To question 1. There is no Vacuum but a set of bellows that feed air to the pipes. The system is known as pressure pneumatic. The Handle is designed to make quite sure enough air gets to the pipes. as smaller and the Organ grinder would have to turn the handle much faster. thereby knackering himself To question two The two knobs on the side of the instrument control Registers. One is for Violins and tother is a bourdon stop. They can be used separately or together to vary the sound the instrument makes. Hope this is of use. Mechanix Muzak
What's the point of doing that. One - I arrange my own music and Tom Meijer has already done it for larger instruments Two - I probably wouldn't fit on the scale of the Organ so I repeat, what's the point????????????????
very good!
Glad to see he has the appropriate monkey there.
an organ is no organ sans monkey
