So we recently moved our organ console back to the center of our choir loft, but now I’m in need of a mirror so I can see the sanctuary while playing for liturgies. I ordered something that looked like it might do the trick, but it won’t swivel down far enough to see what I need to see. Is there a particular mirror or other solution that someone here would suggest?
The largest seem to run 8 or 10 inches. Something like this could work until you can get one built. If you have any carpenters in the church, one of them could do it for you.

Check out organmirrors.com. I ordered one of his mirrors maybe 10 years ago. They are beautifully made, worth every penny having something artistically made.
Thanks, all; I've been using an old jewelry box mirror. It works pretty well, but it's about 25 inches tall, since it has an unnecessary jewelry box on the bottom. If I could chop off the box portion of it and flip the rectangular mirror to make it horizontal instead of vertical, it would be perfect. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find what I'm looking for without getting it custom-made.
Excellent! I've been pleased with mine. It's fairly unobtrusive but large enough to get a decent view of the sanctuary and very easy to adjust when there's another organist at the console.
I've had to build several. It's not too hard, you find a mirror of the right size in a frame and construct some kind of holder to keep it in the right place.
