" bjwagner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" wrote about the costs involved with installation and upkeep of a pipe organ and our concern for our fellow humans. I would say that of course we must care for others. There's not much point in having an organized religion if we don't do that. And if somebody has to see what he's getting for his money, that's a fairly selfish attitude. As far as pipes, versus electronics, electronics have an important advantage over pipes in terms of flexibility. If the pipe scales and voicing turn out to be less than satisfactory for a church, well it's too bad. There's not much to be done about it except replace ranks. With an electronic, much can be done, fairly easily, to re-balance the = voices. And if a builder doesn't make this capability available, then consider = a=20 different builder. With the flexibility of electronics, there's no excuse = for not providing these kinds of adjustments. Rodgers even provided it with their old analog organs. best regards, Charlie ============================================================================= New low pricing on books and music for the Rodgers Organ at www.frogmusic.com ============================================================================= To unsubscribe or change mail delivery (digest, vacation) go to www.frogmusic.com/rodgersmem.html
