This new console controls a fine Austin organ from the late 1950s. Replacing the very narrow Austin stop tab console with a draw knob console was always a dream of Choir Master Dr. Ed Rieke. This was no small task, working in such a narrow space, but there was no more room in its home position for the console to be wider.

Taking the challenge that several large companies said was not possible, we have built such a console. Being very narrow, its stop jambs are tall and slender. Each division is in only two rows, in the true British tradition. The total width of this console is only 62.5". Not being wide enough for our normal internal casters, this console is on a matching platform that is the same width. The entire console is made of black walnut, accented with mappa burl fields behind the knobs and in the center of the music desk.
