    Made this (hand carved with chisel, pen knife and dremel) for my daughter... Made of Walnut and Alder. Just needs final sanding and lacquer finish.

    Modeled (very roughly :) ) after the Yale Marquand T&B organ (minus the ruckpositiv)

    francis,

    Your work is beautiful!

    I am interested in the original. The Great manual has split keys on A-flat, B-flat, and E-flat. The Swell and Choir manuals have split keys on A-flat and E-flat ONLY!
    OR so the picture shows. This is the first time I have seen different manuals (as well as different octaves) have a DIFFERENT arrangement of split keys.

    Have you heard the organ? If so, what is your opinion of the mean tone temperament?

    Deo gratias!
    Felicity

    hi felicity

    i would like to play it...

    i played the Flentrop years ago at Duke... yes, i noticed the split keys. i use a Pythagorean tuning on our digital here often when playing early music.

    are you near Yale?
