KeyArts Organ Mirrors
All models are 1/4" plate mirror for distortion free viewing. Surface mount, adjustable, sanded edge,
replaceable and repairable. The back of the mirror is finished wood. All mirrors have a positive lock system
that once set will not change on its own accord.
In my organ "hopping", I find the mirror systems (if any) a "sometimes delightfully untidy and interesting
affair". Usually the rushed efforts of an auto rear view mirror...with a bright or dim setting in case more
candles are used than normal (smile)! or they are either a small 2" x 3" make-up mirror stuck up with
electricians tape, or a big ole' piece of mirror edged in duct tape just leaning up against something waiting to
fall, or, those valiant efforts by well meaning "handy guys" that wiggle and jiggle, made with old door hinges
and the like....with an occasional shaving mirror thrown in for good measure! Most mirrors I find "in the
wild" are pale comparisons to KeyArts precision built organ mirrors. Our customers breathe a sigh of relief
at their first use of our mirrors and wonder why they had not thought to get one sooner.
We build these mirrors to last with ease of repair in the future. Here you will find mirrors designed by a
career organist with background in the wood and metal trades. Well constructed of top quality materials,
these are the kind of mirrors you may be tempted to take with you if you leave your current church job (It
has happened)! Design is not too ornate nor too industrial. Our mirrors are not cookie cutter items...they
are hand-crafted with extreme accuracy and are viewed as works of craft-art...that work... and probably
should be signed and numbered. It takes about 20+ hours over three days to complete most mirrors...so it
is really a labor of creative play resulting in a very necessary item for many organists
that will make a world of difference.
Like most creations and musical performances, these mirrors evolve in design, finishing and structure. The
latest iteration is the inclusion of the EVI Suite of instruments and of course for those who want a little floral
flash, we have included a Test Tube Vase at a small additional cost.
Restoration, rebuilds, and repairs are available for these mirrors or your existing vintage mirrors.
