I agree with Charlie about the clarity which a 16' Bassoon or Fagotto adds to the pedal line, especially in Baroque literature. Many times, I find this type of stop is perfect for Bach and Buxtehude, with or without a pedal mixture. However, I also find the Posaune to be quite useful, especially when the pedal needs weight or power when used with plenum manual registrations. It's amazing how much weight a good Posaune can add. One of the great things about many Rodgers organs is that you can choose either the lighter Bassoon/Fagotto or the heavier Posaune, depending on what you need.
