A little perspective
Pipe organ console vs Elkhorn coral colony: width comparison
The console width of a pipe organ console is approximately equal to the colony width of an elkhorn coral colony.
A pipe organ console is the cabinet containing the keyboards, pedals and controls used to operate a pipe organ.
An elkhorn coral colony is a branching formation of the coral species Acropora palmata, found in shallow Caribbean reefs.
Both rulers start at the same zero and share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its original proportions.
Measurements, assumptions & sources +
Pipe organ console
Defined console width: 2 m; defined specimen; range 1.9 m–2.1 m.
A defined three-manual pipe-organ console 2 m wide. Organ consoles vary in manuals, stop controls and enclosure; width is measured across the complete cabinet.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked defined console width is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Elkhorn coral colony
Defined colony width: 2 m; defined specimen; range 1 m–3.5 m.
A defined mature elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) colony 2 m wide and 1.2 m high. Branch growth and breakage produce irregular colonies; the basal reef substrate is excluded from both spans.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 2 m
We compare the console width of a pipe organ console. This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same. The recorded range is 1.9 m to 2.1 m.
A defined three-manual pipe-organ console 2 m wide. Organ consoles vary in manuals, stop controls and enclosure; width is measured across the complete cabinet.
