The parts came last week, and I was able to assemble the organ this weekend.  It went together quite easily, and since it was in parts, carrying it upstairs one piece at a time is so much easier than carrying up the assembled instrument.

 Something like an Ikea project, the entire instrument came on a pallet with 5 boxes

The bench went together very quickly, keyboards and parts all in separate boxes.

 The Pedalboard is a separate unit, also in its own box

 The console table was folded up into a number of pieces in a single box.  The thing that took the longest in the assembly was putting the 16 brass toestuds onto their mounting board.

With the console in pieces, taking each part upstairs itself made transport easy

The Keyboard stack is assembled separately.  I chose pistons on only one keyboard, as I find that I rely almost entirely on toestuds.  Also, with modern systems, all you really need is "Next", which I've put on toestuds.  That being said, you still need a set and cancel, and I also have assigned 0-4, 5-9, -10(memories), and +10 (memories) to the pistons.  I have 6 left over that I'll figure out what to do.  These are lighted pistons, but I haven't been able to get them to light yet.

 

The completed console is here.  I'm waiting on the rocker tabs.  I'm building boxes to go on the sides for the rocker tabs.  This will make it much easier to play than with the touchscreens.  

I've played a few things, and the wooden keyboards feel marvelous.  It is much easier to play than my old instrument.  Just a few more things to go.  I'll also build a bigger music desk.
