hello!
i'm an instrument maker. mostly not electrified instruments but I have decided to "plant" a bunch of reed organs I found that were discarded after Katrina hit New Orleans.
it would be nice for passers by to wander upon something like this and have some musical fun.
they are all reed organs which is basically a fan pushing air across reeds that open when a key on the keyboard is depressed.
I have been told to go for a marine battery because they are a safer gel substance and charge and discharge more thoroughly with more longevity.
I have also been told to avoid modified sine wave invertors for direct to amps BC of noisiness. This is, however, just an electric fan really so I cant expect that would be a problem.
here's where I'm over my head.
I need to figure out what size battery to get, what size wiring is appropriate and a suggestion or two on what kind of inverter.
I want to run
Deep cycle marine battery---inverter---on/off/timer switch---fanmotor
I believe that is the correct thing to do.
the organ power information is:
115-120V
60 CYC A.C.
42W
.375A
if someone can hook me up with the right information and an understanding of this, I would be more than willing to pay.
