[rodgersorgan] Re: rodgersorgan Digest V1 #41


Noel:

I, as an Allen owner (at home), also would love to hear a progress report.
But the last time I requested that on this site, all I got was a snotty
reply that I should "trade my Allen for a Rodgers".  I was disappointed in
the lack of professionalism, but that's the world we live in . . .

I am fortunate enough to play a new Rodgers 967 with PR300s at church and a
new 3-manual Allen 360 at home.  They are both modern musical marvels,
giving me the best of both worlds.

I would appreciate any info on connecting something like a PR300s to my
Allen.

And I am hopeful that this site continues to provide a place to exchange
objective information useful to all organists.

It's a lot better than the Oxford 945 I used to play.
