Flamethrower Organ

So yeah, It all started with the idea, WOULDNT IT BE GOOD TO BUILD A FLAMETHROWER ORGAN. Not even knowing if it would work. 

It took 2 weeks to put together, at the beginning i had no idea about anything to do with gas at all! but after a quick search on the internet and a mess around with a whistle and an old camping stove i was all set!

I went over to my mum and dads shed (i couldn't do it at mine, there wasn't any space! for fire)

and just messed around till it worked. 

Initially i planned to get an old church organ off eBay (they go for next to nothing!) but i did some tests with a single organ pipe and because of their makeup of tin/lead. IT MELTED.

So i got out some blunt files and a hack saw and made some pipes out of copper!

so yeah....... thats the flamethrower organ for you!

the keyboard is a midi keyboard controlled by an arduino mega, its just an organ keybed which are great cus each key has a seperate wire. connecting to a common bus, none of those button matrix mallarkies.
