My new DIY console

PostThu Oct 06, 2011 1:56 pm

Hello Friends !

Here is the result of my work this summer : My made-it-myself organ console !

The wood boxes, for the pull & push stops :
Image

The little parts :
Image

The pull&push sticks and the switches
Image

The other side of the plank with all the wires
Image

The switches, nailed to the plank
Image

The wires connection to the electronic board.
Image

The first box is ready
Image

Inside the box - how it works ...
Image

The "sorry-I-don't-know-the-word" thing to link great to swell, choir to pedal etc.
Image

The back of this plank
( the springs are inside a plastic pipe to avoid the noise "chtoing!")
Image

Close up
Image

The console, almost finished !
Image

I'm lucky : my wife is a potter-sculptor, she'll soon create 54 "terracotta" little heads for me:
Image

A different little head for each knob !
Image

It will be a unique customised console, but I've got to be patient ...
Image

I bought a Hoffrichter pedalboard on the french Hauptwerk site.

I baught Electronic board, switches and keyboards at Eric Dalest's site :

I'll post as soon as possible the final pics, with all the little heads... hope you'll like it !
