Info on Rodgers 22B organs

[Brandon Tuomikoski]

Hello all! I have been looking around for a long time and have been writing many post on different organs that I may get. WELL I FOUND ONE AND I AM ACTUALLY GETTING IT NOW. It is a Rodgers 22b organ from the 1960s. It is $1,000 and in perfect shape</p>

I need info on this organ. I dont have a picture but there is one on ebay right now. I AM GETTING IT BECAUSE FOR THAT PRICE, IT BEATS ANY ORGAN I HAVE PLAYED. I THINK IT IS BETTER THAN EARLY ALLEN DIGITALS AND NEWER RODGERS FROM THE 70'S AND 80'S</p>

I would like info one the insides of this organ and how to add midi and reverb and any other info on this organ such as a manual would be nice. Thanks!

Hi!</p>

</p>

See this article online: http://www.organworks.com/Web/about/testimonials.asp</p>

That article is from somebody who owned a rodgers 22B and then used midi.</p>

The
downside of the 22B is that it does not have internal speakers. The
upside, however, is that has two expression pedals. I highly recommend
having a regular speaker and also a leslie speaker attached.</p>

I
own a Rodgers 100 organ. It is also two manuals, a little more basic
(only one expression pedal), but newer and self contained.</p>

I
purchased this organ for $1500 dollars including delivery. I bought
this organ thinking that I wanted to add MIDI, like you, however, once
you hear the sound of these organs, you will likely change your mind.
These early rodgers organs have a great sound, and in addition, you
would be spending at least $5,000 to midi-fy your organ (notice that is
greater than the price of the instrument). Also, it is dangerous
to try to do too much to an older console.</p>

There were two
"additions" added to my organ, however, which I liked a lot. The first
isan Alesis Nanoverb Unit. It gives you very realistic reverbation and
also lots of other misc. audio effects. I also have a headphone jack
installed with its own volume control. I highly recommend both of these
additions.</p>

I hope my ideas have helped you and answered your questions!</p>

How did you add the reverb?
