[rodgersorgan] Re: Rodgers Console

well, I'm thinking of adding some digital stops to the Swell, Choir, Great, and 
Pedal, then having the entire solo division digital. I was thinking of having 
the speakers placed in the appropriate cases, such as placing the swell 
speakers in the swell chamber, etc.....that way the volume could be set at 
"full", and the shutters will affect the volume, just as they do to the real 
pipes. Right now, we have 45 ranks, and I'd like to end up with about 80 or so, 
which is in effect....almost doubling the size of the organ. Having Casavant do 
the work, would mean having all those ranks built, and at 25000$ per rank, the 
total would be larger than the national debt!

Until 1972, this organ WAS a 4-manual instrument, so the cases have lots of 
extra room in there for the speakers. The organ is split in 2 matching cases; 
swell and choir on the left...great and pedal on the right.
