In the heyday of reed organs there was a body of technicians with the
skills, the knowledge of woods, and the special equipment called for
in manufacturing and reconstructing good reed organs. Such
technicians, I fear, have all but vanished.

Unfortunately, the website with this article on it, too. This book
also includes instructions by W. H. Davies, who elsewhere wrote a
series about building your own piano but not much advanced in detail
from the article from Happy Woman Magazine, for adding a celeste rail,
also called a moderator as mentioned by Daniel Wolf at MMM, to your
upright piano.
