I can't afford a new Rodgers, but have an opportunity to purchase a used instrument. This is actually called a Rodgers 751e A+. It is a 751 that has had all of the hardware and software updates, including the voice pallette stops. This is a PDI organ, and was the generation directly prior to the Trillium. The 751 is American built and very solid, and comfortable to play. The instrument actually has only being owned by Rodgers, and used as a demo and small rental instrument. They have gone over it very thoroughly, and it is in good shape. They are offering a full warranty, which is a bonus.
The audio configuration would be Organ: 2 x Rodgers FR1.7's for Swell, 2 x FR1.7's for Great and 1 x SW7.5 Subwoofer for bass frequencies.
Also included is the RSS 303a Quadraphonic Room Modeling (reverb) which includes 2 x Walker TP-3's for front ambience, and 2 Walker TP-3's for rear ambience.
The RSS is the best reverb I have ever heard on a digital organ.
I'm debating about getting the MX-200 module. Frankly it adds a lot to the instrument, but I would only be interested in the pipe organ sounds, and there are not a lot of those.
So, any opinions? Pros? Cons?
(Regarding price. I feel what is being asked is fair, and everything is included: delivery, installation, voicing etc. Like I said, I couldn't afford this in a new setup. Hey, divorce IS expensive!) This is a rare chance to own a PDI Rodgers, IMHO.
I've also considered Phonenix (new) but alot more money, and frankly the Rodgers sound is very warm, and the RSS is amazing.
