[rodgersorgan] An Ounce of Prevention

We have talked about piston memories here before, but once more...

No matter what kind of organ you are playing, a bit of preventative action may 
be worth the trouble.

1. Write down all your pistons.

2. Shut off the breaker that gives the organ power on Sunday after church.

3. Arrive very early for mid-week services or choir rehearsal and reactivate 
the 
power and see if you have pistons.

It is much easier to arrange for a tech to come and check your battery backup 
before you find out tragically that your well-thought-out piston scheme has 
disappeared...

The other suggestion that comes in handy is this: If you come to church, turn 
on 
the organ and all lights up but won't play, find out who turned off the lights 
the last time the chruch was used.  It is amazing to find that power failures 
to 
remote amplifiers occurs when trustees change for the new season,no?

It would make a lot of sense to make a list for duties for guest organists:

1. To lower the music rack lift a bit first to disengage then lower it.
2. Use MEMORY X for any piston setting
3. The ushers are done with the collection when...
4. The pastor prefers X to happen immediately after the final AMEN...
and so on.
