Title: Another example of electronic being replaced by pipe organ

Hi!

It looks as though with the failures of 20-30 year old electronics, now is the time to become a pipe organ builder . . .

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Church-Organ-/220834079511 is a 3 manual Analogue Rodgers which is now being replaced by a pipe organ. The electronic has clearly kept the spirit of organ music alive in the meantime.

Best wishes

David P

I knew if you looked hard enough you would find one :o 8) ;D ;)

QuoteNow redundant due to restoration of Church's Pipe Organ.

...This would imply the pipe instrument replacing the electronic is, strictly speaking,( ;)) not exactly "new"

but this information comes only from the E-bay listing...

The condition of the "Analog Rodgers" is suspect as there

QuoteMaybe a couple of flaws in the stops.

Nevertheless, this would likely make a reasonable practice instrument for the home... and when the analog electronics finally give up the console could likely be "midified" and the basis of a fine sample-based instrument...

Great news the church made the decision to restore their pipe organ 8) 8) 8) 8)
