D.L. Simmons & Company Church Organs - Phoenix Organs

James... for sure! I travel with a first aid kit, and bottled water on ice!

I told them $100K was too much, especially right now, but an Allen dealer told them to ask $125K! ...wishful thinking. I told them to expect to actually expect something in the $60K -$80K range, depending on what the economy does in the near future.

Honestly, I don't think I'd pay that much considering the huge amount of work it would be to …… （更多内容）remove the organ and them reinstall 80 speakers and miles of cable. At any rate, they did not want to pay a commission for me to sell it. Just as well.... whoever would purchase it should get a PHOENIX ORGAN instead!!!

Way to go Darrell! Give him my greetings and a pat on the back!

Still waiting for him to come down and play a concert on the Immaculate Conception Phoenix or the St. Martin's Phoenix Organ.

Thanks!

'acolytes in sneakers!' .... surgical booties; you can get them by the boxful at any medical supply. Just shoe them up before the service... no more squeaks! ;-}

A report on this organ:

"...St. Martin's church hosted the Diocesan convention at St. Martin's school [chapel]. Stephen, organist and choirmaster of St. Martin's church, played for Eucharist this morning for the whole convention. It was attended by members and clergy from every church in the diocese of Louisiana." [0ver 400]

"The music was beautiful. This was a full church with everyone singing every hymn and it was beautiful. Many people came up to Stephen after the service to inquire about the organ. Most wanted to know if it was a pipe organ. All loved it."…… （更多内容）

"Stephen, who had not played a Phoenix before, loved it. He wants to come back when he can just play whatever he wants to. He asked how much it cost and thought it was an incredible deal."

"Everyone at the school who has heard it (including the children) also love it. It is a smashing success. Thanks for all you did for this project..."
