New Artisan Consoles

 
 

After many years of absence from console building, we have decided to offer them once again to complement our products of Control Systems, Sound Engines, and Digital Sampled Pipe Organ Ranks.


We are starting off literally at the "top of the line" by our first offering of a 4-Manual French Console Theater Organ.  Other console configurations will follow, although we will probably not stock a 2-Manual console, unless there is a specific demand.  Church organ consoles will be offered in versions of two, three, and four manuals.


The 4-Manual console shown here is built from the Devtronix plans that we purchased from Darrel Wardle.  Darrel is the individual awarded the remaining assets of Devtronix by the bankruptcy court.


This console is slightly scaled down from the original Wurlitzer, making it more suitable for a home installation.  It is constructed throughout of solid mahogany wood (no plywood or MDF), with the highest degree of craftsmanship, right down to the exquisite carvings of the end caps and the corbels.  Another significant feature is that the console upper half can be separated from the lower half to allow passage through standard 36" doorways; 33" for the upper section, and 30.75" for the lower section.


The stop rails of the console will accommodate up to 256 stop actions.   Stop lists can be modified to have control for 25 to 35 ranks of digital voices.


One version can have two second touch divisions which are usually required for an organ of this magnitude.


It is available either as a kit in knockdown form, or completely assembled, finished, and outfitted as a Plug 'n' Play instrument.  The price list even provides a means to "Pick 'n' Choose" any particular item that the customer needs.


The complete organ includes an Artisan µMIDI Control System and (2) Artisan Sound Engines, along with a set of 31 Digital Ranks.


Following is a complete price list of the individual components:
