Detachable Sleeves
One of the main goals when building a portative organ, is to have a small and lightweight instrument with a wide range of tones. This is the reason why the so called half-tones are rarely present in larger pipes due to weight and space restrictions (e.g. Cantiga where it makes sense to go without the c#1) To enable the musician to still be able to use this half tone or give him/her the flexibility towards lower tones, I offer customized detachable sleeves for the metal pipe instruments. These sleeves can shorten or lengthen individual pipes and therefore make them sound a half or a full tone lower or higher. After adding the sleeves made of pipe material (with internal connector 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" One 3-piece set of detachable sleeves made of pipe material: Ghaetta: instead of the standard lower tones g-g#-a, f-g-a or f #-g-a are obtained (this is interesting for the continuous play or for flute ensembles); . Huelgas: instead of the standard lower tones b,c,c#, d Options for "Cantiga" (no picture) One detachable sleeve made of pipe material: The detachable sleeve lengthens the lower pipe c sharp to c Tone sequence with detachable sleeve: c-d-d sharp… or without: c sharp-d-d sharp… . |
