Mission statement

To oppose 2 8-foot stops : a principal and a chimney flute

Challenge

To build an open principal from the first C (2.8m high) that could fit in a modern flat (2.5m)

Characteristic features

An organ case independent from the instrumental unit proper, which allows ample freedom in the design and outlook.
Several varieties of wood are available.


The instrument has an actual prospect of tin pipes. It is not a cupboard opening onto the pipework.


The use of drawstop knobs enables the player to benefit from a coupler and so have a firmer weight of touch without having to pull the two stops.

The pull-down octave pedal coupler opens up numerous musical possibilities.
