Pros: Good heat control, Sort of stable, Cheap

Cons: Cheap

Best Uses: Minor Projects

Describe Yourself: Avid Do-It-Yourselfer

Get a good electronics replacement tip, a Weller PL100, at your local retail store. Much better iron with that tip.

Some Audio by Jerri

Well we coaxed the nice Jerri Bearce and her husband over last night to play the Casavant. She graciously played some cool pieces and let me record with my Canon ZR 200 camcorder. She played a neat loud soft piece, and then another. Then she play a Bach fugue. Then she played a triplet thing, which sounds completely different on the Casavant than when she played it on the Moller Artiste. Which do you like better?
Then she played a hard thing from her past, getting through the first part OK, and trying the ending a little slower. Then she sight-read a last verse for "Morning has Broken" that I had, and concluded with Christ lag in Todesbanden for me. This sounded rather differently on the Moller.
She also tried her luck on the old 2M/P eleven rank Mason and Hamlin reed organ that I have with a chorale and a barn-burner.
Very nice and talented friends we have, right?

Light is working

The organ is pretty complete. I got the light built and balanced the stick with a big book on the back.

Brasso?

Brasso is a busto on the metal pipes, made a music rack light like in the picture of the Kuhn organ in Switzerland.

Tale of Two Organs, TOLD

Put pipes back on the back, so I could play it again. Fixed casavant plastic label. Attach to keydesk. Get email from OHS people, my organs are in the database.

Try Brasso on the tin pipes. OK. Glass Wax is no longer made. Can’t find Window Wax reformulation locally. Oh well.

I didn't say it would be easy. . .

Tune again, try tuning mixture, not much luck.

No Tune, No Fun

Remove pipes for David C to tune, he can’t come. Bad Back. Submit to the OHS organ database the Moller and the new location of the Casavant.
