[rodgersorgan] Open System


In my years with and my years prior to being with Rodgers, I have always been
impressed with their concept of building an organ as an open system.  To 
illustrate
this I am posting a message (from another list, but I am sure that he won't 
mind)
from long-time list member Paul Swank about his newest project :

"I have wanted a home pipe organ since I was fifteen, and I'm sixty-one
now.  Well, now I've gone and done it...

I have a Moller one manual, 2-rank, four stop organ which I got on eBay
.  It was originally in the nun's chapel at St. Ursula's RC church in Mount
Vernon, New York.  It is Opus 9939, with the name plate dated 1963.

The stop tabs indicate:
8' Rohrflute
4' Rohrflute
4' Principal
2' Principal

However, the actual specification is:
8' Rohrflute
4'Rohrflute
4' Gemshorn
2' Gemshorn.

I have it in my front living room, and am now tuning it.

I plan to eliminate the one-manual console and control it through my 1965
Rodgers 35D 3-manual moving drawknob organ.

Isn't pipe organ ownership a hoot... (even with the pipes in tune)

Paul R. Swank"

What a neat project, Paul!

A Rodgers Organ may be the answer to your musical needs....or a starting place.
