I have an idea that I can prove that an organ is cheaper for an institution to "operate" than a piano. So far, I am making up my own statistics -- a 40-year old electro-pneumatic organ that cost probably $30,000 and has had tuning/maintenance, but minimal repairs. As the instrument is still worth something, I am proposing that the cost per year has been less than $1000. I am comparing to very fine institutional pianos (Steinway D, Bosendorfer), but as I continue to invent my own figures, it does not seem to matter what kind of organ I envision, as a finer organ will also suffer less depreciation and a more expensive tracker will require less work. Perhaps someone can finger real numbers quickly, or expand on my flight of fancy?
