Nearly there?

All parts assembled and more or less functioning

While trying to intonate the pipes I discovered that any small leak in the stop destroys the tone completely. Putting some soft tissuepaper around the pipes works for now.
Still have to solder some of the stops of the pipes in the upper octave.
The lower octave starts to work.

I'm experiencing a rather ennoying problem with the bellow. The gussets are a bit to large permitting the bellow to open a bit to far. Without any pressure the bellow opens and closes smoothely, but while under pressure the folds tend to plop outward.
