Check out this Wooden Pipe Organ that Plays itself using an Arduino and Raspberry Pi @Raspberry_Pi #piday #raspberrypi

Fanastic project from Wendell Kapustiak! Via RaspberryPiPod.
Here is my source of air or as the organ folks say, wind. I couldn’t afford a real organ blower so I went with the Shop-Vac solution. I built this box to accomplish two things. First, one could hardly hear the organ over the roar of the Shop-Vac so I needed to do something about the noise. Second, the higher the pressure in the organ the higher the pitch of the pipes. Therefore, a pressure regulator is needed to limit the changes in pressure that occur as different numbers of pipes are playing at one time. The lower box contains the Shop-Vac and muffles its noise. The upper box further muffles the noise and regulates the pressure.
