[rodgersorgan] Re: rodgersorgan Digest V1 #143


regarding the Rodgers 205, it was in production in the late 1970's and early 
1980's.  Steve Smith, our President at S.B. Smith & Associates, has owned one 
since 1980 and absoulutely loves it.  It is analog and Steve has serious 
thoughts about 'gutting' the organ and retrofitting a Rodgers Trillium 837 in 
its place.  

Something good to note is that Steve recently had a very good organ over to 
his home recently and the organist sat down and played the 205 after Steve 
told him he was thinking of making the organ digital.  The organist (who is 
very well respected in our local AGO chapter) said 'why would you want to do 
that?  This sounds absoulutely lovely as it is'  

We also recently installed a 205 in a small chapel on the campus of DePaul 
University in downtown Chicago (it was donated by an alumni that used to have 
it installed in his home).  The organ is very much appreciated by all of 
those that have the opportunity to play it.  The quality of the instrument, 
we have found, is very high and we have had very few service problems with 
those that are installed in our market area.
