- This excerpt is taken from a documentary film on the construction of Martin Pasi's Opus 14, It shows the creation from start to finish of a reed pipe. This segment was filmed by Mike Cousino in the Pasi Organ Builders shop in Roy, Washington.

Greetings from the USA! These videos are wonderful.
I am interested in making pipes and have made some flue pipes out of PVC pipes and wood. This video is an inspiration.
Thank you!
Really a jewel this video is completely educational I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!1 hi from mexico and thanks for this videos!!!!!!!!!!
I make both metal and wood reed blocks. metal blocks for open shallots and wood blocks for (german) faced shallots. It has something to do with the size of the shallot. the boots are always wood.
I'm trying to understand the relationship between the resonator and the reed in terms of pitch... You say here that the resonator is made a little over length... So do I take it that the resonator is optimized for that C note? I wonder how that's determined. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
@@squeezehorns the over length refers to having a little extra to cut off. Depending on the curve on the tongue the resonator length changes a bit. Having extra is better than soldering after realizing the resonator is too short.
@@martinpasi Thanks! Interesting... a lot of moving parts, i.e. physics, going on here! I was trying to change the pitch of a reeded squeeze horn by lengthening the resonator, but I think I'm understanding now (especially after watching Pipe Making Part 6: Voicing) that a sound produced from a reed is entirely different from a sound produced as a standing wave in an organ pipe.
@@squeezehorns the membrane would also need to be enlarged or lengthened if you lengthen the resonator to achieve a lower pitch. I had to look up what a squeeze horn is. Good luck.
@@martinpasi Thanks again! That would explain how this fellow is getting such a big low tone... czcams.com/video/KtH_GEdrk0U/video.html
Thank you for the very interesting and informative videos! I have a couple questions.
I noticed another video where you are casting reed blocks out of metal. Why are you using a wood block here instead of a metal one? Also, do you have a video showing how the boot is made? Is it made the same as a pipe, then coned down at the bottom? Thank you!
What kind of metal are you using to make those pipes? Once again, I would love to be doing something like this! What a wonderful job. I hope Pasi Organs will become successful and make a name in organ building.
Sorry for the late reply. Our metal alloys are high lead (97 % lead plus mostly tin with traces of antimony, copper and bismuth) or 90% tin with the rest lead and also with the same trace metals. Hope this helps
it sound better without resonator -)
really good video. Did you know abouth acrodion repairs? thanks
