A friend of mine sent me an article - "Out with the New and in with the Old: Recycling an old organ console" printed in the latest AGO magazine ,The American Organist. I think this is the first time I have seen a reference to a Hauptwerk conversion in a publication dedicated to the pipe organ.
For all the obvious reasons, the individual that made use of an old pipe organ console as the core for this digital conversion, chose Hauptwerk, citing "stunning acoustical realism" and low cost as the determining factors.
Its nice to see "previously used" pipe organ , or even older electronic organ, consoles being recycled rather than ending up in dumpsters.
