Matthias Wandel build an incredible pipe organ, check out the story, sound samples and the build photos, he writes – “With my nonexistent music abilities, and my limited budget, I couldn’t justify buying myself a little Casio synthesizer or something like that. The only way I could justify owning a musical instrument was if I actually BUILT it. I am very fortunate that my dad has a very large and wonderful woodworking shop. When I went home for christmas that year, I started experimenting with pipes. That christmas was particularly busy for me, as I also built two tables, because the house I was renting with friends was a little bit under-furnished.” [via] – Link.
