This week I've worked on the picking layout for the mechanism mounting. As it has to attach to the pickguard, it has been difficult to try and get everything laid out in a way to get it to fit. Some of the bars will likely need to be different lengths in order to fit the assembly. In order to make sure that everything lines up, measurements need to be checked multiple times and in different files in so that it will work properly. 

Certain components are finalized for the most part, such as the actual fretting mechanism. These parts are mostly made and ready to be assembled. However, as stated before, the picking mechanism remains an issue. Due to the precision needed for the strings, many measurements need to be made in order to enure it works properly. For example, in the image on the left, the whole assembly is too far down, which would result in none of it working. Next week I plan on finalizing this design in order to begin producing parts.

I had ordered the PCB this week from JLCPCB, it cost $20 for the board and $9 for shipping. 

I had stopped at Menards to purchase connectors for the pressure valve used to regulate the pressure entering the organ. With this the organ should, when finished, look very appealing, with no akward looking or cheap visuals.
