Erecting Room

I’m not sure if I really want to be an organ-builder. But, if it comes true, I need huge building to be my workshop. I’ll hire some assistants (or no? who knows?). We need some room to work and place the equipments and materials.

One important room is erecting room. We need it to erect the long, thick, big (maybe it isn’t just big, but huge) beautiful things called organ pipes. I’ll need at least 40 feet-height room. Okay, the lowest pipe I’ll produce maybe only 32 foot pipes. The speaking length is about 32 feet for open pipe, but I need more feet for the pipe foot, wind lane, casework, and miscellaneous part I haven’t known the name yet. We will install the organ in that room. We need to know that all parts are fit to their positions and function.

The erecting room is huge, right? Yes, the 32 foot pipe alone will make me look like a tiny fairy than a human. I’ll get my wings and magic wand, so I can fly around the room.

Is the erecting room going to be used all time? As private organ-builder just for myself, I won’t spend my time to build my own organ. That erecting room won’t always be used to set up the pipes. But, if I plan it carefully, add proper acoustics, it can be used as rehearsal room for choir. It will be great to sing and hear choral music with well adjusted reverberation. It’s also fun to play my whistle voice in that room.

"Go to the erecting room and get your long-sustained whistle voice."

Me as Organ Builder

Kadang aku suka berangan-angan, berimajinasi, mengkhayal, melamun, apa pun itu istilahnya, membayangkan diriku sebagai organ-builder. Hm…. Kayaknya keren banget (di mata gue). Meski organ-building tuh ga murah, tapi asik aja. It’s about beauty.

Gue pernah kepikiran buat jadi organ builder komersil, yang berarti bakalan ngurusin punya orang lain (dan berarti juga dapat bayaran). Tapi kayaknya repot, bakalan ngabisin banyak waktu dan tenaga. Belum lagi kalau klien punya segudang permintaan yang bermacam-macam, pengin ini pengin itu, perfeksionis, pengin cepet, bla bla bla…. Mumet lah. Karena itu gue lebih suka mengkhayal jadi organ builder privat, khusus buat gue sendiri ;p buat naikin gengsi pribadi di mata komunitas. Huokokok….

Ngelanjutin khayalan, jika aku menjadi organ-builder, seperti apa yang bakalan aku bikin buat diriku sendiri? Hm…. Bingung. Coba-coba bikin disposisi sederhana, hasilnya kaya gini

Kira-kira tampilan stoplist-nya ntar kaya gini

Gue kaga tahu ini pake gaya apa, gue cuma masukin stop-stop yang lumayan familiar dan kayaknya bersuara cantik. Stop yang make bahasa Jerman atau Perancis kedengarannya lebih keren dan cantik dibaca daripada yang pake bahasa Inggris. Koppel-nya pun dibikin sedemikian banyak biar bisa borrow maksimal. Penginnya sih bikin yang rank-nya banyak, tapi kan mahal banget. Ini aja ude mahal.

Payung

Jumat, 21 Desember 2012, dalam angkot KWK 08

Sembari menikmati perjalanan menuju Lebak Bulus, iseng-iseng nguping pembicaraan dua ibu-ibu.

A : “Ujan, buruan masuk angkot.”

B : “Untung banget pas beli payung baru.”

A : “Buat anak loe?”

B : “Iya nih, lagi musim ujan gini, biar ga kehujanan.”

A : “Enak ya anak loe. Anak gue, gue suruh bawa payung ke sekolah kaga mau. Dia bilang, ‘Yah, emang gue emak-emak yang lagi ke puskesmas pake bawa payung segala, ogah ah.’ Sebel banget tau, udah dibeliin malah kaga mau make.”

B : “Tapi anak gue kaga mau make payung gede, makanya gue beliin payung lipat biar bisa masuk tas. Kemarin dia nolak-nolak gini, ‘Mak, emoh ah pake payung gede. Gue mau pergi sekolah, Mak, bukan mau ngojek.’ Gue bales gini, ‘Ya ga pa-pa dong. Kalo lagi ga ujan, payungnya titipin aja di sekolah biar ga repot. Kalau ujan ada yang mo nebeng, kasih tau sekali nebeng bayar seribu.’ Hahaha….”

String Stops

String stops are intended to imitate orchestral strings. Although they fall short when attempting to simulate a solo violin, they are much more impressive when imitating massed strings. The tone is thin and sharp, with a lot of harmonics or overtones.
