Anyone know of a good site for making wooden organ pipes? Tin is OK too, maybe I can subsitute with PVC for what I have in mind.

I have seen pipes made of redwood. They don't use tin. It's a special alloy, softer. Good luck. The time when I knew an organ voicer is long gone.

You sent me looking around the web...have you been to Pipeorgans.com?

I don't think it'll really answer your question, but there's a lot there, and a contact...also, the related links leads to lots of pictures.

I have an old reed organ I plan to fix up. Pipe organs are pretty fascinating, too, but I'll have to get to them later...!
