Building his own Pipe Organ in a Church or a Foundation : 

The first and only expressive sensitive Pipe Organ in the world

I designed and built this Pipe Organ without any help or grant. Only with my own technical skill, and my own means.
I'm giving weekly, each sunday afternoon a free concert from 3 to 6 P.M. always during all the years.

After the mass  service each sunday morning at 10.30 A.M.

Free instrument visits are possible upon request.

Bodies automated design and building:
I designed a 3D software program running on PC's: Given the pipe dimensions, it computes automatically magnet valve positions.
 and false body holes.
3D views are also available. before  manufacturing.
This program can control directly any wood machine tool.
See User's manual

The 6th chest beeing built with his 330 magnet-valves

Holes are automatically manufactured by  any machine-tool controlled by computer with my software authoring tool.


9 Windchests installed in august 2007
