The Rodgers Organ

The instrument the Music Committee has selected is a Rodgers 960 Digital Electronic Organ, which uses a breakthrough in digital sound: Parallel Digital Imaging (PDI).  The awe-inspiring sound of a magnificent pipe organ is truly captivating.  The exhilarating sound is the result of ever-changing subtleties in the tone.  Never static, these sounds constantly change as each note is played.  This dynamic response distinguishes "real" pipe organ sound from organs with only "pipe-like" sound quality.

Those who are acquainted with authentic pipe organ sound will be impressed by the Rodgers organ.  This organ provides a rich and spacious ensemble sound complemented by crystal-clear definition.

However, this is only the beginning.  It is the subtle details that set Rodgers PDI organs apart!  Hear the proper attack and decay as the keys are pressed and released; hear the pitch of the pipe bounce and stretch as large registrations draw extra wind; hear changes in sound direction and reflection as the expression shades open and close.  These are oft-missing subtleties that are never absent from a Rodgers organ.  The unmistakable "essence" of real windblown pipes is undeniably present.
