New self-built console ready and working!

PostMon Jun 22, 2009 11:04 am

I am very pleased to announce the completion of my self-built three manual organ console. The console was built as I went along without a real design plan using mainly spruce and 5mm ply.
It is based on a frame constructed around a 110 year old 30-note concave and radiating pedalboard which was removed from a methodist church near Loughborough in the UK.
Control is via a 19" touchscreen (fully 64 bit compliant is anyone wants one) and a Behringer FCB1010 foot controller.
Audio is via M-Audio BX84a speakers and a KEF 1000 125W subwoofer.

Full details and pictures of the project at every stage of construction are here:

There also five videos showing the organ here:

I hope it proves to be of interest!

Regards

Ken.

"Simple", elegant and functional. VERY nice design!

It's great to see more DIY projects such as this - I really hope the trend continues!
