I feel a little like a violinist wanting to "improve a Stradavarius", but since I heard Rodgers has a Product Concept Board (am I correct, Roy?), maybe they might find our suggestions useful.

I'd like to see back-rests standard on all organs three manuals and up. I think you can order them, but if it were a standard feature, you wouldn't have to special-order, plus there might be a cost savings.

I just got a look-see at "The Making of a Masterpiece" DVD and it is fantastic!

It features not only great shots of the Rodgers factory, but pictures and sounds of some of the TM models... and some beautiful churches, too. An extremely well-done 11 minute presentation!

AUDIO SYSTEM

* Bi-amplified audio with minimum 6 channels and 6 Rodgers Audiophile speakers. Custom
speaker installations, antiphonal divisions and increased channeling are optional.

Listed above is information about the 808 that is included in the info about the 808 on the old Rodgers site, but has not been included in the new site.

The minimum audio system is not included. I found that information to be VERY helpful to me. I choose the models that I thought our church would consider partly by comparing the audio system requirements.

In the past (80's, 90's for sure...), Rodger's offered pipe augmentation as a special purchase option - in many cases, supplying the pipes, chests and finished cabinet components as needed. I've been able to acquire two ranks of these products and am looking for more - anyone know of any available? I would be interested in discussing the opportunities.

Thanks, Rodgers, for establishing this forum!

How may I obtain the Hector voices for my MX-200? What is the cost?

Also, are there any software updates for my T787E that I have not installed?

Thanks for the new website, Rodgers!!! We've been waiting. I am STILL excited to ba a Rodgers player at First Methodist in West Point, GA where we have a 3 M custom Trillium Masterpiece with 12 ranks of 1930 Hinners pipes. THe organ NEVER ceases to AMAZE me! I will be accompanying an organist to our local dealer's showroom tomorrow for him to "shop" for his church. He played our wonderful installation and was SOLD very quiclkly! Thanks to EVERYONE at Rodgers who had a part in this great installation. Thanks to Chapel Music, Lithonia, GA for the great job you did for us.

When will the information on the two new "lower line" models be available on this website?

When will the new two manual Allegiants be introduced? Will there be two, three or four two manual Allegiants?

Will the new website eventually have a link to a "company store" where we can buy recordings, videos, teeshirts, etc.? Also, it would be nice to have a "links" page like the old site. Perhaps some artist profiles would also be nice (Dan and Hector).

Keep up the good work.

If you've never seen Hector Olivera on tour with his Rodgers custom 4-manual organ, you should take a look at his promotional video on YouTube. It includes performances on several Rodgers organs, plus some popular selections played on Roland Atelier instruments.
