Hi group, Well... I bought an Allen 301B, and I've been spending my time cleaning it up. The poor thing was covered with dust an soot so much that I thought it...
Hi John, Did not realize that the "A" organ company had become a subsidiary of RODGERS. Golly, if it hasn't, you just used a dirty word on this list which is...
Hi again, John - Sorry - I forgot to add "Happy April Fool's Day to you, too!" at the end of my previous message, below. Best regards, Charles Schramm...
Hey Charles, You had me worried for a moment, but the Trio is already clean. I had to do something. And, dirty was the word for the 'A'. I never saw such a...
Allen 301B, and I've been spending ... Now that's a very dissimilar pairing...some might say the best and worst of both worlds all at once! Those days of...
Was there a "stock model" wurlitzer that was universally accepted? Let's design this with an eye to authenticity...no rhythm box...but a midi interface under...
Noel and list -- I'd suggest several models in the TO line -- 1. Replica of the 2/8 or 9 Wurlitzer found in so many of the small to mid-size houses in the 20s ...
HI.. Sorry to kinda butt in but, I found an old Allen analog 3 manual theatreconsole in plu perfect condition that came with 3 Allen speaker cabinets and three...
To List, I know of a style D 2/6 Wurli, (now 2/13), has a standard size console, single horseshoe rail and a straight rail, built around 1919. Would make a...
I know of 2, 5 manual Wurlitzers currently installed in homes -- (one in Phoenix and one in Racine, Wisconsin). Wurlitzer only built 3 - 5 manual consoles....
Connie, Understood... What we are looking at here is trying to get a standard console with plugs ready to accept a cage of oards....hopefully Rodgers...if...
Personally...I'd like to see a replica of not the 5/21's, but the 5/28 that was in the Michigan Theatre, and is now in Fred Hermes's house, about 15 minutes...
I played Fred's 5/28 this past July. He showed me about 5 or 6 ranks of pipes he has acquired but not installed as of yet, including a French Horn. That organ...
Sensible approach. However, for standard stock line, I would replace the 2/8 with a W 216, WurliTzer - Style 216 2 Manuals - 10 Ranks - 6 Tuned Percussions -...
... Sounds gorgeous. ... A good musician; someone with loads of money; someone with a huge ego, or all three combined? Walker and Allen both have a 5 manual...
The Walker is actually being built for Rob Richards. Tom Hoehn, Organist Roaring 20's Pizza & Pipes, Ellenton, FL (substitute - 4/42 Wurlitzer) First United...
The thought of a five manual is great, but once again, we are looking for the common denominator here, one instrument of one design that would have the...
Yahoo is being very flaky, and completely lost my post. It was long, and I don't want to do it over. Here's the end result. If Rodgers would make me a MIDI...
Noel and list, I liked Tom's suggestion for the Wurlitzer 2/8 and 3/15: both have good usuable stop dispostions. Even though a Post Horn is missing on the...
Interesting thread. Too bad it is unlikely to go anywhere. I second the suggestion of considering the Style 216 as the instrument to be replicated. An...
2T already exists. I would suggest using an RK-30 keyboard with "tracker touch" which is a form of weighting and then add the second touch response found in...
Hi Ho RTOU: My thought on the above are WHY must a new T.O. be so expensive when you can buy a Yamaha DGX500 88 key piano with 500+ great sampled tones for...
The RK-30 and Atelier are Roland products, who just happens to be the parent company of Rodgers. Tom Hoehn, Organist Roaring 20's Pizza & Pipes, Ellenton, FL...
The main reason is neither Rodgers nor Allen sell that many instruments per year compared to the number of keyboards sold per year. If Ford only sold 25...
Hello Rodgers Group, my name is Tom Cruse, no relation to that other guy who is star of the silver screen, although I come from his hometown. I wish I had his...
Ah! Thanks, Tom, The eBay prices on Roland products, make it seem like they have a lot of "perceived value", and I resent paying extra for anything that's been...
