Hi All,  Now that I have built a barrel organ using harmonica
reeds plates, the time has come to maybe build and organ with pipes.
I wanted to find an easy way to make and tune organ pipes.  I used
the keywords "organ" and "pipes", but "whistle" took me into a whole
new world.

In a parallel world to barrel organs there are sites that tell how to
make _penny whistles_.  While a penny whistle is not a mechanical
instrument, these plans are perfect if you need simple pipes for your
mechanical project.  Great plans at:
