Drone leversAll keys can be individually (also several at once) stopped during the play as drones by means of adjustable drone levers; e.g. keynote and its fifth. Most of the time, between 2 and 4 are a good choice. back to top |

Carrying HandlesA practical and at the same time attractive accessory are the historically inspired carrying handles made of massive brass. Can be retrofitted (Price upon request). |
|||||||||||||
Air release from bellowsFor a quick release of air without having to push any keys or play a long tone, I offer to add an inconspicuous lever which, when operated, guarantees the quick release of air from the bellows. It allows quick, space saving setting aside or storage of the instrument inside the case. Anybody that has experienced the tight space on stage between chairs, notes or microphone stands, will appreciate this little extra. Can also be retrofitted (Price upon request). |

Put-on-SleevesOne of the main goals when building a portative organ, is to have a small and lightweight instrument with a wide range of tones. To give the musician the flexibility towards lower tones, we offer customized detachable sleeves for the metal pipe instruments. These sleeves can lengthen or shorten individual pipes and therefore make them sound a half or a full tone lower/higher. After adding the sleeves made of pipe material (with internal connector sleeve plus extra parchment tuning sleeve), only a small interface is visible. The handling is very easy. The adding or removing can be easily achieved between two pieces of music. The detachable sleeves come, as all other pipes, with parchment tuning sleeves (other materials upon request); in general, re-tuning after addition or removal is not necessary. Options for "Ghaetta" , "Huelgas", "Bacella", "Fiala": A set of (2-5) detachable sleeves made of pipe material (plus parchment tuning sleeve): "Ghaetta": instead of the standard lower tones g, g#, a, either f, g, a or f #, g. a are obtained (this is interesting for the continuous play or for flute ensembles); . "Huelgas/Bacella": instead of the standard lower tones b, c, c#, d "Fiala": Instead of f, f#, g, g#, a... you get d, e, f, g, a... |
