Chest

This chest measures 10'-6" long.  It is composed of single Austin toe-rails for the Violin I and Violin II.  The Diapason and Tibia are located on two toe-rails with pipes alternating between rails in classic Austin style.  There is a spare toe-rail for future addition.  All actions are Peterson Direct Electric within the manual chest.  The chests smoked acrylic bottom panels easily lift out for service work.  A 18" x 30" curtain-valve reservoir supplies air for this chest.  The tremolo is a pair of Austin Pedal Pneumatics electronically fired to dump air.  The bass offset chests are of several manufacturers.  The Z-tronics driver boards are located at one end of the chest.
