Picked up the 16' thru2' gedackt pipes today. They look nice and should fit in nice with the organ eliminating some of the unification. I also ordered the opus two cards so all I have to do is make a chest for the 8' thru 2' pipes. Got to listen the large Skinner organ at Sacred Heart where I picked up the pipes thanks to Allan. They are at the first stages of rebuilding but these pipes are not from the Skinner. Now I'm going to remove the swell shades from the framework so I can get to the back of the Organcraft to make it easier to install the Opus-Two controls.

I ordered the pistons today from Arndt Organ Supply Company today. The folks there are really nice people and it was a pleasure to do business with them. I had purchased a 10" flexible duct line that was supposed to handle 20" wind pressure. So far it has burst twice about 5' from the blower where it makes a 90 deg bend going into the main feeder line. I put a 90 deg elbow in that spot and I am planning to get the proper flex from OSI. It's so @#%& expensive though. I also purchased today a 16' thru 2' gedackt so I can eliminate some duplication from all the unification. One nice thing about this is it is only about 25 miles from home. I expect the OPUS-TWO controls tomorrow if they shipped in the same amount of time as the first time they shipped. I promise more pictures soon.

Well since last post the Opus-Two controls are finally on their way after the address disaster. I have all the bass pipes tubed off the main windchest. I still need to build 4 offset chests for the great gamba, swell salicional, swell vox humana, and pedal octave. Syndyne is currently not producing pistons so I'll have to scrap the 5 Syndyne pistons and order 22 Klann from Arndt if the dimensions fit.
