So the last few weeks have not been particularly fun.  Betty took ill, and then died last week.  It was expected (she was a very old dog, with numerous serious ailments) but it still hit me hard.  Consequently I haven’t been in the mood for organ building, or writing about it.  Bailey has decided that now would be a good time to come into season (well planned, since she was due to be speyed on Thursday).  Everything feels a bit flat.

There has been a little progress in recent days.  I have continued to make minor adjustments to the magnets on the pedalboard, and am now reasonably happy with them.  I have also installed a micro-DIN plug in the connecting cable, to make it easier to remove the pedalboard.  I will have to do the same thing for the expression pedal connectors, when they are eventually installed, as these feed into the pedalboard MIDI module via a short connector cable.

I’ve also purchased twelve toe-pistons, ready for installation when the kneeboard is re-jigged (approximately some time soonish).  Currently amusing the parental units, so no further updates for a week or so.  The next task is to screw down the manuals and connect the thumb pistons.  I might then be able to produce some noise.
