How can one fairly judge an organ temporarily installed at a convention?
The Rodgers 960 is probably one of the most pipe like sounding instruments
made to date. The room and the voicing have an awful lot to do with the sound
of even the finest pipe organ, so to me the same would apply to an electronic
organ.
I happen to play a Rodgers 4 manual, 110 stops and 33 ranks of pipes installed
3 years ago and the voicing was done by a pipe man so the sounds are very
realistic. If anyone has doubt ask me or Dan Miller for a CD that he recorded
on my instrument and you be the judge.
What is the problem with just letting people enjoy their instruments whatever
they may be, good or bad?
Why do so many people focus on the bad or dark side of life?
Maybe we all should be trying to play music that our congregations get turned
on to
rather than playing what always makes us feel good.
