I have a 20 note Raffin reed organ that I would like to sell . It is in excellent condition and comes with 20 plus rolls of music. Has the authentic brass plate inside of the lid . . . . . . NOTE FROM WEBMASTER: BOGA members may advertise organs for sale or wanted on the Sales/Wanted page for free. To advertise there, please email details of the organ, along with photographs, to our membership secretary at:membership@boga.co.uk. . . . . . FURTHER NOTE FROM WEBMASTER: The organ has been sold to a BOGA member

Thanks for the link. It looks like good quality but expensive if bought in bulk.
I was looking for suitable card to cut and join, at a reasonable price.
Regards
Colin

Colin: The larger holes - and the larger diameter pipes used for these holes - are to allow a greater flow of air required for the larger bass pipes
BTW - did you have success with the suggested source of card ?

John Smith 20er Tracker bar
I have started building a 29 note organ to the design at LES ORGUES QUIMPEROIS. Now I notice that there is little music available for it compared to a John Smith 20er so I am considering altering the design to accommodate JS .

I have observed that the three lowest notes on the tracker bar are larger than the rest. Why is this?

Thanks in advance.

Where in the UK can I get card suitable for making cardbooks?

Hallo, der Mitgliedsbeitrag für europäische Mitglieder beträgt 35 Euro. Derzeit entspricht dies ungefähr 28 GBP. Der Versand eines Mitgliedschaftspakets kostet 5,5 GBP, ein Newsletter 3,25 GBP. Dies ist mehr als das Doppelte der Kosten für die Post im Inland des Vereinigten Königreichs, und die Kosten werden in den nächsten Monaten wahrscheinlich steigen. Der Rest des europäischen Mitgliedsbeitrags deckt die Schwankung des GBP gegenüber dem Euro, den Druck des Newsletters, die Verwaltungskosten der Gesellschaft und die Veranstaltungskosten. Wir würden unseren europäischen Freunden sicherlich niemals 40 GBP berechnen. (Geschrieben mit Google Translate)

Hallo,
der Jahresbeitrag in UK beträgt 15.00 GBP
Warum muss ich als Europäer 40.00 GBP bezahlen ?
the annual fee in UK is 15.00 GBPWhy do I have to pay GBP 40.00 as a European?Gruss von Heinrich Peter Peters

Hello Peter.
Although this isn't strictly related to hand-turned organs, I will repost it on the BOGA Facebook page where it will get more visibility. Hopefully someone will be able to help you.
Best wishes.

Hi.

Does anyone have any early recordings of the UK Alan Pell 48 keyless organ 'Little Bud'?

This is the only link/picture i could find of it but I believe there was a tape (cassette) available many (20+) years ago.
