I don't want to sound like I'm griping or giving a sob story so I'll just tell it straight. Maybe if I get it off my chest I'll feel better anyway.For five years I was priviledeged to play a Rodgers T787. Not the most sophisticated organ mind you but still plenty powerful and it sounded great. Then about a year and a half ago I got my first teaching job in another state so I moved. The church where I play now has a Conn Serenade 632. I don't need to tell you it was a BIG step down but I was grateful to have an organ to play so I didn't complain. But after a year and a half of playing I'm super tired of the organ. It has no presets, no couplers (well sort of but they're only for the classical voices which sound as though they came from the trash bin), only a 25-note pedal board (there's practically no bass), and only 5 stops per manual. Additionally it's nearly 40 years old and I don't think it's been serviced for quite some time (nobody played it for 2 years until I got there). Anyway enough negativity.</P>
I'm not asking for much but I would like a digital organ with at least 25 speaking stops, an AGO pedalboard, and something that sounds similar to a pipe organ. It doesn't have to be new, maybe about 15 years old, no older than that (especially Allen), and a few presets. I can't pay anybody (our church doesn't have a pastor and can't do anything else until they get one) but if anybody knows of an organ that a church doesn't want anymore or anything, please let me know. I'm in the south part of the Atlanta area.</P></DIV>
