    Interesting 'desk'

    I found this on the Austin CL. First thought was an old piano but, looking closer, I think it was originally an organ.

    Sent them an email to get an address so I can see what kind of shape it is in. Ad said it has been sitting on a porch. Hopefully the paint helped to protect it from the weather.

    Thoughts include hinging the lattice sections to create storage areas for supplies, installing a keyboard tray, and adding doors on either side at the bottom with pull out trays for the printer/paerstorage and the CPU.

    Other thoughts or ideas? I may know where I can get my hands on an old piano stool for a chair.....

      How about a roll top? Probably couldn't exactly follow the side contour but it might work.

          Nothing specific comes to mind, but with a little imagination you should be able to incorporate a music theme with it. Nice find.

              A very cool cabinet, nice find. It's got great possibilities with all that fretwork.
