Re: [Low-Tech] Musical Instruments: Water & Pipe Organ?
Smaller pipe organs, like say bagpipes as someone mentioned earlier, would use the same pricing as normal instruments

[OT]Melnibone option?
This is the second time I've seen a reference to this meme. Do you recall the source? I don't remember it from Moorcock's stories, but it has been a while since I've read them.

I'm sure if you looked up Elric on Wikipedia it would give you the stories and perhaps a synopsis of each.

Re: [Low-Tech] Musical Instruments: Water & Pipe Organ?
As for the $850,000 value, that is in today's dollars. I think the GURPS standard is 1970 which would lower the price by about three.
And yes, several people have made some quite impressive pipe organs with PVC pipe. I would have to use a computer to do this as my musical incompetence is impressive. (I have written a few songs and was trying to get them transcribed by a friend. He'd get a few notes, then have be highly frustrated because I'd restart the song in a different key and I couldn't hear the difference.)

Here in Denmark, I can buy 800 grams of high-fibre, 33% wholegrain, pre-sliced bread, for 10-12 Danish kroner, in discount shops, or in other shops for a few percent more if I'm willing to compromise slightly on the fibres (6.5% instead of 8%). That's wheat bread. I don't go for rye bread, because I seem to get a mild stomach irritation, but I'm pretty sure you can buy black bread for rather less than 12.5 DKK/kg. Probably even pre-sliced. |
