Tricks of the trade: Steve Parker demonstrates hand planing a metal organ pipe

3/5/2018

It may look easy – until you try it! 

​Here is Steve Parker carrying out a traditional organ pipe-making technique: planing metal by hand.

​He's been doing it for a good few years, so he's pretty handy. Steve knows how to remove just the right amount of metal from the tops to allow for cone or scroll tuning.

​And it's all done by skill, touch and experience.
