Abstract: An organ reed pipe shallot is constructed from solid metal bar stock cut to a predetermined axial length and having a tapered internal bore formed axially through the center of the bar stock. A side of the bar stock is planed and a slot is cut in the plane that extends through to the internal bore. An end plate is secured over one end of the bar stock adjacent the slot and covering the internal bore opening at that end of the bar stock.

Abstract: A tracker touch apparatus used with a keyboard apparatus having a plurality of selectively depressed keys includes at least one strip magnet support by the apparatus in a position transversing over the tops of the keys. A metal plate is secured to the top of each key of the keyboard in a position just below the strip magnet. Initial depression of a keyboard key is resisted by the magnetic attractive force of the strip magnet for the metal plate secured to the depressed key. The magnetic resistance to keyboard key depression imparts to the keys a desired "feel" of depression.
