You have to be a lover. You have to be really impassionate. Than you can build a church organ at home. Well, not the ones with pipes, but an electronic facsimile. In the Czech republic where I live it is possible to build these at the price of about 700 USD. But you have to do a lot of manual work. You have to be skilfull. |
Electronics
| If you are rich enough you can buy a electronic pipe organ Viscount or Allen or similar... Then this page is not intended for you. |

Well, if you are not rich and you are motivated like me you can start building your own instrument. It looks like this. Then you need a computer with a soundcard to generate the sounds. Or you can use an expander or a keyboard with MIDI and channel mixing capabilities. But be prepared to work for about 3 months. It will take your evenings and nights, and weekends... If you are happy enoung you will spend something like this: |
| keyboard table (two manuals) | 0 USD (a gift from an old organist) | |
| magnetic contacts with magnets | 80 USD | |
| MIDI convertors (MOP-56) | 340 USD (4 pieces) | |
| material to build a pedal and the chair | 220 USD | |
| other instruments and material | 25 USD or more |
