Organ History - Winchester Organ 10cet CE

Winchester organ

In the 10th century CE, the monk Wulstan reported in a letter to Bishop Elphege about an organ that stood in Winchester.
I found a translation of this organ description in Music and the Anglo Saxons by F. D. Wackerbarth (1837).

Based on this very imaginative description, I tried to build two playable models of this organ.
The models are intended as inspiration only.
