    ok. here it goes
    first of all all you guys are music connoisseurs! (envy). I am definitely not. We are a school here in Greece building ancient Greek musical instruments for a museum. (If you want details, just let us know). We need some help in building pipes for a hydraulic organ. We don't want to sell anything, we don't want to advertise. All we need are some pipes!
    We have already built a replica of an ancient Greek hydraulic organ. May I say it was a success! But, we need more help.
    We are trying to build up a museum with ancient Greek instruments. We have already accomplished a great deal but with your help and interest we hope to do more.
    So, that's why we are here

    Angela, just a thought, but these folks might be able to steer you in the right direction:

    They do presentations of of ancient Greek music, and have many reconstructed instruments.

    hello to all!
    I'm back to say thanks and to inform you that we did it. We now have a small museum with reconstructions of ancient musical instruments in Katakolo, Greece!

    Take care

    Good luck with your projects as it sounds great.
    " The essance of reproduction,to feel and re-create that which was felt and impared by the creater,does not exclude- within natural limitations-the assertion of creative power" - Dr. Hugo Goldschmidt.
