Many think of the console as "the organ." However, it
is really the control center from which the organist can manipulate
the myriad of musical resources available. A wide variety of cabinet
styles, detailing, stop controls, and layout possibilities make
Schantz the choice of many who seek to replace or replicate consoles
of existing instruments. Rightly viewed as an attractive furnishing
- complimenting the aesthetic in which it is found - the console
must also be a functional component of the instrument, as the musician
will spend many hours in practice and performance seated at its
controls. Long respected for their comfort, ergonomics, and reliability,
Schantz consoles also incorporate modern features for the musician's
convenience such as multiple levels of combination action memory,
performance sequencer, record-and-playback capability, and MIDI.
