Hello All,
First, allow me to say that working with Allen and Edgar is terrific. Their attention to detail is exacting and they have very high standards. I encourage any of you who are considering assembling an entire console, or only a partial console (keycheeks, music rack, enclosure) to contact Allen. He'll be available as soon as my project is finished
The lamp you see in the music rack Allen just finished is actually an art/picture light. As Allen stated, he had to modify it and build legs for it in order for it to work in this application. As you can see, it turned out quite well. The light comes in a slew of colors and sizes and is MUCH cheaper than similar lamps designed specifically for the piano or organ. After researching many sources, I found this to be the cheapest:

Of significant note, this console will have real rocker tabs--the design and manufacture of which are by Allen. They will use LED's as indicators. Our thumb pistons will be somewhat unique as well as they will also use LED's as indicators. The design of the console shape is my own, so don't blame Allen if you don't like it. It's a bit of a cross between a Holtkamp and Laukhuff, i.e., very angular and sleek, but with side jambs. The two-tone staining was also my choice.
