Restored Norwich Organ pedalboards found their way into these summer builds. Their curved rears demanded a new style of toe piston rail.
The console fitted perfectly in an upstairs study, the overall width only slightly wider than the pedalboard.

The console was temporarily installed in Henley Parish Church for a thrilling recital by David Briggs.

A Cumbrian living room plays host to this console packed with audio wizardry.

Frequency response was unsurprisingly jaw-dropping.

Installation of a dark-Oak four-manual in Nottingham. Updates to the design include fully adjustable music desk and engraved piston labels. Built-in silent PC and RME soundcard allow for expansion into quite the surround sound setup, with plans for a spacially separated division off to the side.
