Default Re: Simple valve oscillator for a valve organ?

Hi Ed, a few booklets were available on the subject from Foulsham-Sams
Also The electronic musical instrument manual Douglas 1949
Frequency divider organs Douglas 1963
Electronic musical instruments Lewer from Electronic engineering

I think Douglas wrote for Radio constructor; most of the journals had the odd article in them about musical instruments, World radio history site is you friend here, if you have the time

The ones mentioned above outline a variety of techniques for note generation in both simple and complex manners, as well as details of the filters used to give the various "voices"

At grammar school in the 60's the electronics club started building one for the school, but it was still unfinished when I left from upper 6th
