“I absolutely love it … its sound is grand … Voiced as it is now, it reminds me of a fine old Schlicker. The console itself is fabulous, very comfortable, and the quality is top notch. I am very pleased! I am a believer, and I can't wait to hear it with pipes!”

"It was an absolutely wonderful concert...

The organ sounded tremendous in the hall. 

The concert would not have been possible without your support.  I cannot thank you enough."

email sent following the rental of a Rodgers Organ at the Civic Opera House in December 2009 

The one word summary of Monona Oaks Community Church's association with Rodgers and Steve Smith is “WOW!” At each step along the way, they have been consummate professionals, yet very approachable. Rodgers is fortunate to have such an outstanding representative in this part of the country.

It was a joy to sit down at the console and work through the music for the next Sunday's communion service. I was able to use both the organ and the MIDI to set up different registrations for each verse of the hymns, for the offertory, and for communion - something I could not have done with the (old organ).

Over the last several decades, the congregation's worship style evolved from traditional to a blended approach. The pastor questioned whether it would even be necessary to replace their old organ. Why not just purchase a keyboard and use its organ sounds? I made a strong case for the new instrument's capabilities for playing traditional and contemporary music, thus enabling us to preserve and extend our successful ‘blended worship' format. The 788 is easy to play, and the MX-200 is easy to use. What a thrill to sit at the console and hear such glorious sounds filling our building! I look forward to training our keyboardists to use the 788 and MX-200 with the praise teams.

“We have a huge (Skinner) Pipe Organ that was desperately in need of repair.  We needed a completely new console and wanted to add excellent digital samples to compliment what we have.  After researching Rodgers’ and Steve Smith’s reputation in the Chicago area, it became apparent that working with him was clearly the best choice.  You can’t go wrong with Steve Smith & Rodgers.  We have been so happy that we chose to work with them.  The end result has been fantastic and our congregation regularly raves about the organ.”

“We looked only at Rodgers Organs because of my good experiences with them at other churches over the last 20 years – I knew (Rodgers) was the best…   In 1985, I looked at Allen and Rodgers.  Even then, Rodgers offered stop-by-stop and note-by-note voicing which produced a superior sound…  (Rodgers) gives you a degree of flexibility that is unmatched.  I would highly recommend (Triune Music), they are excellent to work with in every way….  Our Pastor & Music Director went to hear the Rodgers Organ at Rockefeller Chapel… we felt that Rodgers does the best job of replicating great pipe organ sound.”

After looking at Allen, Johannus, Rodgers & Casavant “our committee chose Rodgers because they had the BEST SOUND quality with the ability to expand with pipes in the future.  You’d have to look long and hard to find someone better to deal with than Steve Smith and the Rodgers People.  We had some members that were anti-digital, however within 3 months (of the installation) all of them loved (the Rodgers) and mentioned that they couldn’t tell the difference…. We chose a Rodgers 968… we are extremely pleased.  I am amazed by the number of people that after two years still hunt me down to tell me how much the organ adds to our worship.”

“The overall feeling is that the organ is remarkably versatile, can play anything, and the tone palette that the instrument offers is extensive. This organ can play anything from early Baroque to contemporary music.  The choruses are complete on each manual and the scaling matches the room beautifully.  I would recommend Rodgers (Triune Music) without reservation....

Our Rodgers sounds like ONE complete organ.  In my experience that was uncommon with hybrid organs (but not here).  It is a thrill to play and I’ve played many incredible instruments earlier in my life, both as an organist and as a pipe voicer for the Wicks Organ Company…. I might add that the gimmick of having several sampled organs to choose from is a turn off to most real organists. There is no need for such a gimmick with Rodgers.  They are capable of playing literature from any period.  On our instrument, anything is possible.”

“We purchased a custom Rodgers 957 after serious consideration of three organ companies (Rodgers, Wicks & Allen who refused to give us a bid).  We had a 1966 Rodgers Organ and their service has been excellent for decades….  We would highly recommend Rodgers and Triune Music…We would advise committees to VISIT a LOT of churches to hear the exact size and kind of instrument you are considering (especially in a similar room and acoustic). That’s how we ended up with a Rodgers – they SOUNDED BEST when listening to the same size & price instruments from each builder on the SAME day … (we listened to several dozen instruments on several days over several months).  Ironically the Allen Dealer ignored our request to show us comparable organs in actual church settings. They hoped we would make a decision by just visiting their showroom…still we made appointments with their owners to see and hear comparable organs on our own as a group.”
