awesome! thanks

For some authentic desigs, get ahold of the book "organ building for amateurs" by Mark Wicks. Most libraries will have a copy. The book not only tells you how to make a functional pipe organ from scratch, but it also has some good Victorian (Eastlake) designs. Also a web search for "chamber pipe organ" will result in some good pictures for reference.

I did a simple build to act as a topper for our piano. It is made up of mostly scrap wood and PVC pipe. The base is large enough to house two amplified speakers which play the organ soundtrack.

This is the video that shows our pipe organ. It may be the one your talking about ctarpey.

Essentially ours is all handbuilt with scraps of wood and trim, some PVC pipe and a couple of old keyboards. Not much help on the tutorial part but maybe the video will give you some ideas?
