Klais - three consoles . . .

Worthy of more research!

Hi

That looks interesting - and sounds good too (at least in Jonathon Scott's You Tube post).  First time I've come across 3 consoles controlling the same instrument.  Are there any others (there are a good number of dual console instruments).  There was an organ with no less than 5 consoles - see NPOR E01271. To be fair, the 4 subsiduary consoles were short compass and designed for specific purposes.  It also had a barrel mechanism.  Just one of the oddities of the pipe organ world!

Every Blessing
