Is that a pipe organ?

[retrochad]

No, it is just electronic, although the console is capable of being hooked up to pipes.

Beautiful music, the first song is in Dutch hymn 280 of the "liedboek voor de kerken" (= hymnbook for the churches). Song from Wales, "Judge eternal, throned in splendour".

@kingjames8283 - Correction on the voicing - should have been GC10. The original voicing set up was via GC8 and later GC10. I had Dan Miller revoice my 735 with a GC10 in 2004 and 2005 when he played a couple of concerts at my church.

@kingjames8283 - Incorrect KJ8283 on the your description. Indeed Rodgers did make a 735 and started digital organs in 1991. The owners manual at the start of the vid showed 735 - I played a 1992 Rodgers Cambridge 735 digital organ at my last church - voiced with a CG10 during my time there. There was a 785 which is a larger spec 2 manual that Rodgers also build in their early digital years however, yes there was a Cambridge 735 digital Rodgers.

Great organ... I was lucky in finding one at a good price and I enjoy playing it everyday.

I thought I would add some information about this organ. In fact it is a Rodgers 785 "Cambridge" model not the 735 as Rodgers never built a 730 series classic organ. You indicated that yours is a 1991 model year which is correct as Rodgers didn't start building these until 1990. This model uses transistor individual oscillators (analog - generator racks) to create the sound as Rodgers didn't start building digital units (models: 520/530) until 1994. Very nice instrument you have.

Yah, a good organ. There is an exact model here in St. Louis, Mo at the White House Retreat (Jesuit). I play it for services every now and then. I use the mixtures and reeds sparingly because it is a small chapel. I have never used the 32' yet.

I could not agree more

[joeyboi87]

ah a very good hymn let all mortal flesh!

[organist99x]

The sound comes from external speakers. The church I play at sometimes has a Rodgers organ with external speakers, which are placed in the front of the church behind screens, and there is also a speaker in the back in a closet. Btw, I love the Allegiant 778 organ. Are you buying it for your home or a church? It can be set up to have external speakers.

[quinn244]

have you listend to the the demo songs if you have them?

[quinn244]

my church has one but its a newer model i play it all the time it has 5 memory banks and I think more pedal stopes other wise its alot alike
