Ha, thanks Saxon. Actually I misread my ancient tape measure which has 83cm not 183cm against 6ft which I then misread as 8300mm, I searcheth and unsurprisingly foundeth not, hence the confusion :headbang:
Takes a while but I mostly get there eventually :lol:
Presumably I just need a solid pine 1800 x 300 x 18mm. I'm thinking I might just bracket it to the side of the organ so it's more easily removable and won't bend with the speakers balancing on the end.
Cheers

Re: Room treatment and monitor speakers suggestions.
I'd go for 30mm+ thickness, 16mm is a bit thin for my taste. With that it would probably be sufficient to use some non slip matting on top of the organ. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Levish-New-Multipurpose-Non-Slip-Mat/dp/B07J68VSS4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=non+slip+mat&qid=1610971065&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFPTjQxODFIVUJKSlQmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA1Mjc4NDUySFBGNkdSMkFOTzJBJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1Mzc5MDFTUFBOMEI4R0ZaRDImd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

That's great, thanks Sam. Yes '18mm' was a bit of a punt and begged the thinness question.
Quite hard to find something reasonably priced at 1800mm x 30+mm. Best I've done so far is 27mm:

which is £50 delivered and untreated wood. Ideally black would be good to go with the organ, but hey :)
A custom finished wood site is coming in at £150.

Re: Room treatment and monitor speakers suggestions.
if the 16mm versions are significantly cheaper - ie less than half the price of 30mm you could always stick two to together - glue and screw will be just as strong.
Hello fellow Murray - you don't see many of us about :-)

Re: Room treatment and monitor speakers suggestions.
An alternative is to go for a thinner plank but screw a batten onto the back to give it more stiffness.

Re: Room treatment and monitor speakers suggestions.
27mm should be fine TBH.

Yes, you grow up feeling 'different' and then accept that actually it's great to be not the same as everyone else :)

I think so. Thanks Sam.
Strange that B&Q or Wickes etc. don't have 1800mm as a length. Lots of sites seem to stop at 1500mm.
I may leave untreated for the time being and maybe treat myself to a paint job in the Spring or something if I fancy it :)
Cheers and thanks for all your help.
