I don't know of ANY organ tone cabinet built with that much "furniture" in mind.
Look at that full raised end panel, that's a hell of a lot of work, and piss poor structure for a speaker cabinet.
I wonder if it was once something else, then converted to a speaker cabinet, maybe a console TV?

From a church organ? Some of those are pretty ornate.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I see shelves behind that grill.
grill is off the cab, and leaning against it. It is giving the cabinet an odd shape,

I agree that some surely are.
But, the dress on that thing even exceeds vintage McIntosh lowboy speakers and they are about as ornate as any speaker cabinet from this country ever got.

I've seen a couple that were ''built with that much furniture in mind '',
but the orientation is all wrong.They are usually wider than they are tall.
My guess is that is actually a small organ console.
It looks to my like that material was added to fix or replace a lattice or cane type back cover.
Not organ speaker; it is an organ. :yes::scratch2:
:thmbsp: . :yes:

It'd have to be an abbreviated compass, maybe 2 or 3 octaves for a carillon or something like that. Not even close to wide enough to house 5 octaves of standard AOG keyboard.
I'm waiting for ANYBODY to show me an organ tone cabinet, or any speaker cabinet for that matter built with stile and rail raised panel construction(as shown in the OP). It would be a guarantee for rattles and buzzing, just not the way you'd build any worthy speaker enclosure.

:lmao:...sounds like a challenge ! !
I'm not sure about those exact ''stile and rail'' raised panels.
But lets see what I can find.....:scratch2:
Kinda sorta...lets see if I can find a better angle.
Here's a console I estimate is about that size.
Pretty ornate cabinet.....
You get the idea !
As far as ......'' a guarantee for rattles and buzzing, just not the way you'd build any worthy speaker enclosure.''
I agree completely,however,the above cabinet is from the 1940's and I'm not sure they had the whole ''worthy speaker enclosure'' thing down yet.
Hell,ever look at a Bozak Symphony Moorish style speaker cabinet. . :scratch2:
Fuggin' things have several ''rattle points'' built into them. .
