[rodgersorgan] Consoles

Consoles.  Hmm.  Here's something interesting.

For five years, I played at a church that has a old two-manual Rodgers 
Cambridge 220.  Nice instrument for being analog, with a large drawknob 
console.  Now, the 940 I play, which is three manuals, has actually a smaller 
console that the 220.  I'm assuming that digital technology allows one to get 
more into a smaller box.  Good things come in small packages.

However, there is one drawback to the 940's smaller console.  I'm 6'3", and I 
sit up straight on the bench.  The music rack on the 940 has been placed low 
enough to allow the roll top to close.  Unfortunately, the music rack 
completely blocks my view of the row of couplers.  I have to slouch to see 
them.  That's a hassle.  Must've been a cost-cutting measure by Rodgers, but 
the might not have taken into account the sight line of a tall organist.

Any of you taller organists run into this problem?
