• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

    Many kind regards

Have seen all those links and the one to look at closely,because we are dealing with the "Damping of Harmonics" (Plenty at Bottom but less at Top as in your First Posts) is:
http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/Q.html
Also try your Tecnichal Library for Audsley "The Art of Organ Building" (2 Volumes) also "The Physics of Organ Pipes" & basically "Q" can be anything....depending on the
Discipline you are Working in.
Having a few days to catch up on Music....and Jamie is off to Melbourne,Victoria...Next week. He will be seeing David Fincham while there and He is about the Only Guy left in Australia who can probably rattle it all off. His Father George Fincham would have known.I have contacted Dallas Pipe Organs,and await their reply.
Cheers or too much Cheers. hehehehe

Now this thread needs to be read, then re-read, etc etc until absorbed. Obviously my cerebral capacities are too low ... most vexing.

Yes, CT, it is a most invalueable knowlege one should know in order to be an adept organbuilder.
