On Saturday, when I played for the renewal of vows, the organ console was behind a curtain which meant I was not on view. In general I refer to be tucked away as one would up in an organ loft.
It is also sometimes necessary to work out where one is going to put ones music. There isn't always room on the organ bench. At a recent funeral I found the blower was in a soundproof box right next to the console. On top there were many very old hymn books which had probably been there since the organ was installed! I had to play 'Tetris' (as it were) with the books to create a level surface for my music.
