Re: Pump Direction
By Philip Jamison
I appreciated the responses to my organ facade question. I think the answer is that plywood is the most stable, easiest material for the facade base, but it's best to make the carvings removeable should some future restorer wish to change something. Perhaps screws through the back and animal glue would help.
Here's another question: Must rotary pumps turn in one particular direction? I have a piano (Popper) in which the pump is marked with an arrow pointing counter-clockwise. The motor I'm using turns it clockwise. The pump is not connected to anything else (ie; roll transmission, etc.) and seems OK turning backwards.
