The Console The Console is on a movable platform and
can be moved into either the recital room or the Gymnasium during exam times,
and there are mobile speaker setups as well for these occasions. The
Recital Room uses a two channel mix, but there is a duplicate set of eight
speakers on a movable platform for use in the Gymnasium. The acoustic in
the gym is superb, but the PE staff have no need of an organ most
days! Console Layout

Here are some close-ups of the
stopjambs. The knobs are turned in Oak, with printed plastic labels inset into
the face of the knobs. The script is Old English. Note at the bottom of the Pedal jamb, the
"rogue" stop is actually a rotary volume knob masquerading as a
drawstop. Not terribly authentic, but a blessing for the music staff who have
to endure some fairly rudimentary practice from the students. Everyone
wants to hear what bottom C of the Contra Bombarde sounds like by itself -
funny how some things never change !!
...and here's the right-hand jamb.

of those rotary controls here at the bottom of the Solo division
- Transposition (saves actually having to learn the hymn if it's too
high!) Temperament
(Werckmeister and Meantone) and Piston Memory The Script on the Tabs matches that of the
Stops

..and
so does the Piston markings
