Four foot Octave rank made for a 1931 Reuter organ

Chris Shires

Pipes made for the Bedient Organ Company

Ryan Luckey, vice president of the Nebraska-based Bedient Pipe Organ Company, asked us to make a four foot Octave of 73 notes to complement a Choir Violin Diapson on a Reuter organ, dated 1931.


Notes 1- 37 are slotted, bottom C is 74mm diameter and wind pressure is 134mm.


We made sample C pipes for the slotted pipes which were voiced by David Wood of Wood Organ Builders, Huddersfield.


This enabled us to ascertain the body lengths before full manufacture and Chris is now making the stop.
