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?
