the mobile console of the cathedral organ
the organ uniquely has two five-manual consoles: the first with a mechanical transmission in the gallery, the second on a platform with an electronic transmission that can be wheeled around the nave.
This mobile console lets the audience see the organist close-up – rather than just the back of his or her head bobbing away up in the gallery – and appreciate quite how hard co-ordinating your hands and feet really is.
