Cavaillé-Coll replica Belgium

For sure, the value of your setup must have doubled, since you bought the Johannus organ .
The cabinetry of your organ looks great. In my case, it was very basic and certainly not elegant. I will post some pictures of it within a few days.

Oh yes.... That sub alone cost 1/3 of what the whole organ cost. I was able to get the organ used on ebay for a wonderful price. The pedals, swell peds, manuals, and stop tabs all output midi natively so it was basically plug&play. The monitors came in waves... First the top two, then the yellow ones (from a local pawn shop) then a smaller sub... then a saffire pro 40, then a larger sub... then 6 more monitors... it all took a few years of bits and pieces here and there. And as far as I'm concerned, I'm still not done I'd really love to swap out my monitors for either models that have two woofers each (some of the newer Eris line have dual woofers and apparently have a wider projection field) or more likely, swap out the active monitors for def-tech BP towers of some variety. There's a pair of BP10's in my area for sale for only $300 for the pair... I'm really tempted...

Some pictures of my former setup.
The sequence could be called : "a Johannus organ in decline", but everything is reused in the new console, even the speakers cloth.

This is what it looked like for 7 years, ever since I started using Hauptwerk.


Some parts missing already, but still operational.


Speaker board removed. The inspector is in the house!


To be continued...

Like the cat, nice touch. In our place, it's a dog - "Mackie" a Cairn Terrior who supervises all things..

While I recently had to get rid of him , I used to have a min-pin "helper" named Gilbert:

And further down it went:


And this it what it looked like right before the new console was moved into the room:


And then, all of a sudden, I decided to get rid of it, so I asked the carpenter to take it apart. One firm hit with a big hammer on the right spot, and the remainders were reduced to scrap wood. After 19 years of service, this Johannus console came to an end.

While I would love to replace mine with equipment made specifically for HW, I won't be whacking mine with a hammer any time soon...

Footrests mounted at last!



The oak has darkened already. It was only treated with bee wax.

Such beautiful work. Congratulations.
