Estey Artists matching units

[Valiant Farmer]

Thanks to Casey for his replies. I am looking towards a Artists model. A question, were the Artists action and bellows matched A - A and B - B? Can I take action B and screw it direct onto bellows A? Thanks!

Vallaint Farmer,

I'm not sure that would be a wise move. My uneducated guess is that the reed cells might be a bit too loose or tight, depending on which way you go.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply, but that isn't exactly what I was meaning. I was meaning screwing the entire reed pan onto a different foundation board on an identical model organ. I do appreciate your time and thoughts though!

Yes, I would rather think so. The screw holes in the foundation, therefore in the gasket material would probably not line up, And you ought to dry fit it before drilling new screw holes so the keys end up parallel and centered between the cheek blocks, and the front/rear relationship is correct.

Thank you. I am turning my attention to an Estey O, which I have some questions about...new post...
