Rodgers Shows New Products at NAMM

Rodgers Instruments LLC is making its revolutionary Trillium Masterpiece Series organs available in two new versions, and has unveiled new smaller specification organs to be released in the first half of 2008.

Among the exciting new products at the 2008 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, Calif., Rodgers revealed a Prelude Edition of the popular two- and three-manual tab stop organs in the Trillium Masterpiece Series. Prelude Edition consoles offer the same stunning sound, cutting-edge technology, pipe compatibility and immense range of custom options as Trillium Masterpiece Series, but at a lower price point. The Prelude Edition will expand to selected models in the Masterpiece line in 2008.

In addition, Rodgers introduced the Trillium Masterpiece Series Medallion Edition. Medallion organs feature wooden keyboards, stunning filled finishes, a piston sequencer, fresh samples from prestigious pipe organ installations, and 100 internal memory levels for organist registrations. Like Prelude, the Medallion configuration will be offered in various console sizes.

For organists desiring an instrument for smaller spaces, with easy operation and a simple stoplist, the non-AGO Model 538MD-27 is a two-manual organ with compact 27-note pedalboard as well as top-quality orchestral sounds and beautiful flute tremulants for gospel music. The 538 runs on a powerful new technology platform that offers outstanding sound, tremendous flexibility and extensive onboard voicing possibilities.

With a similar technology platform to the Model 538, Rodgers also introduced the Insignia Model 548 full-sized console organ built in its Hillsboro, Oregon factory. The new Insignia organ has powerful advantages of superior sound, appearance and musical flexibility over other available instruments in its price range.
