[sdiy] Do I really need any more projects? organ mechanics

[James Patchell]

The only parameter in an organ pipe that is significant to pitch is the 
length of the pipe.  The aspect ratio (length/diameter) determines how rich 
the overtones are.  The wall thickness is probably only important from a 
structural integrity point of view...I would suppose.
