Rodgers can do just about anything!! We "married" a 1930 Hinners organ to a
Rodgers 835. The results were spectacular! However, if I had it to do
again, I would have had Rodgers do a custom console. I have been SO happy
with our organ. When people visit our church, a lot of them come up and ask
"What kind of organ is this? It sounds great!"

> 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!

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.
