FLAME THROWER PIPE ORGAN
A micro flame effects unit (MFEU) includes a solenoid valve, an ignition coil, and a pair of electrodes. The ignition coil is to receive a voltage to create a spark between end portions of the electrodes. The solenoid valve is to receive a voltage to release gas, the spark and the gas to create a flame effect. An example flame thrower pipe organ (FTPO) includes a set of cylindrical members with a micro flame effects unit (MFEU) located within each cylindrical member. The FTPO further includes a set of keys that provide a sound when a key of the set of keys is played. A control device causes an MFEU to release a flame effect concurrent with the sound of a corresponding key being played. The FTPO may be automated with a self-playing system.
Organ with variable key tension
An organ includes keys, a windchest in fluid flow communication with a wind supply. A windchest pallet disposed inside the windchest and connected to the key. An auxiliary chamber is independent from the windchest and in fluid flow communication with a wind regulator. An auxiliary pallet is disposed inside the auxiliary chamber and connected to the key. A first adjustment element controls wind generated from the wind regulator. A bias element urges the auxiliary pallet in a closed position. A second adjustment element controls tension exerted by the bias element on the auxiliary pallet.
