Thanks Ted. I'll check that out. I know that the ones I have on my VWs are not like yours.
Can't remember if John mentioned this in the video or in the manual so I'll mention it here. You must keep an open pipe a short distance from an object because it will affect the tuning similar to the metal tuning plate on the melody octave pipes.
Have you guys found any 5" hinges as John spells out? I've only been able to find 4" and 6" locally. They all seem to come in even sizes.
Next question. Can hide glue be used to glue the pump and bellows leather? I worked on pipe organs years ago and restored player pianos and hide glue was used to glue everything. Also used thick leather as the hinge for pump center board. Thought about doing that till I realized that part "D" is only 1/2 " thick. Oh well. I'll stick with Johns design.
Next question. It will come when I can think of it.
