Our Rodgers organ dealership has a long history of creating successful pipe+digital hybrid organs. Hybrid organs are often the result of adding a new digital console to an existing pipe organ, or adding a modest number of pipe ranks to an existing Rodgers console.

Church Keyboard Center can create a hybrid organ for a church seeking a new organ, but that has no existing  or very limited pipework.

A small portion of the nearly 1,700 pipes available in this Schantz pipe organ.

We have available 21 ranks of pipework built by the respected Schantz Organ Co. in 1979 for a Lutheran church in Los Angeles.  Church Keyboard Center removed the pipes shortly before the building was razed, and has them stored in pipe trays awaiting their new home.

The pipe installation will be customized to your facility, including new wind chests and blower.  The organ will be installed with a new three- or four-manual Rodgers Infinity console, which provides the pipe equivalent of 77 or 117 digital ranks, respectively.  The result is a 3-manual/98-rank or 4-manual/138-rank hybrid organ.

An all-pipe organ of this magnitude would require an investment well into the seven figures.  Building it has a hybrid, using the Schantz pipework, will be a fraction of that amount.  We would be pleased to discuss the prospect of installing this organ in your church or auditorium.  Contact Nelson Dodge directly at 909-599-7899 or by e-mail at nelson@churchkeyboard.com.

The video below enables you to preview what this hybrid organ will sound like.  Keep in mind that you are listening to the “King of Instruments” in a YouTube video streaming over the Internet, using whatever audio equipment you happen to have on your computer.  It is no comparison with what any instrument, especially a pipe organ, sounds like in a natural acoustic space.  So please understand that the video is an illustration of what can be achieved–the final result in your church will be magnificent.
