Thread: One I Can Play

I have zero music ability, but I love to build instruments. A couple years ago I decided I wanted to make something that I can make music with. I got some plans for a Street Organ. It took me two years after buying the plans to get the nerve to start the build. It took me 7 months to complete and it really wasn't difficult after I got into the mode of only worrying about one piece at a time. I also had help from friends on another forum. It was a very fun project and of all the things I have built over the years, the one I am most proud of. It is a John Smithe Senior 20, 20 note crank organ. Uses paper music rolls. So, being I am pretty new to this forum, I thought I post a couple pictures of it:

If anyone is interested you can here it play here. I had a few glasses of wine, celebrating completing it when I did this little video, so I make act just a little, well...
