I received information that former employees and Rodgers employees, including former President and National Sales Director are working together with the Company Verdin, to manufacture organs! In a few weeks or months there will be some more news.
From what I have been told, Verdin is supposed to be at the Houston AGO, showing several models. After that they will publically market their instruments.
Unless things hsve changed from when I heard this, they will market several low priced instruments made by Content in Holland. Higher priced models will be re-baged Eminent organs, also made in Holland.
Your bit about ex-Rodgers employees doing the marketing and promotion of these organs is correct.
Unless things hsve changed from when I heard this, they will market several low priced instruments made by Content in Holland. Higher priced models will be re-baged Eminent organs, also made in Holland.
What is about Holland and organs manufactured there? Nothing against them, I just find it interesting that someone in the US would import more organs from Holland. Maybe it's time I start researching Content and Eminent more....

Verdin was not present at the Houston AGO convention this week. Dan Miller and others was still there with Rodgers as well with their own booth, although in the demo room they were thrown in with the Johannus family aka "The Global Organ Group." This group of course includes the other brand names that Johannus has acquired over the years, but they only had demos of Rodgers and Johannus instruments.
