Congratulations to Saint Kieran Catholic Church in Miami, Florida!

The newest models from Rodgers are the Imagine Series, and all across the country, they've been received with rave reviews! Our first Imagine Series organs have arrived from the Rodgers factory in Hillsboro, Oregon and our first installation was scheduled just in time for Christmas!

St. Kieran's Director of Music Matthew Grossi, Father Jesus Ferras, and Aux. Bishop Peter Baldacchino (recently named 3rd Bishop of the Diocese of Las Cruces, NM) all worked in close consultation with Central Music's Regional Manager Frank Perko, III and President Tim Newby. The new Imagine 351D was the perfect fit for the liturgical needs of the Parish and the very unique acoustical requirements of the worship space. It was a great fit for their budget too.

Kind Words From Recent Customers

To whom it may concern:

In May of this year, I made a trip to the Clearwater headquarters of Central Music to meet with Tim Newby. We had spoken over the phone several times before this, discussing my purchasing a new digital organ. After looking at all the instruments available (new and used), I decided on a new Johannus Studio 370 organ and a Dexibell vivo SX7 sound module. I have never had a more helpful person advise me with a purchase. I had a million questions and Tim went out of his way to answer them all.

I must tell you, the sound quality of this instrument far exceeds other instruments I’ve played -- I'm beyond happy with my Johannus. If an organ or piano is in your future, I highly recommend Central Music in Clearwater, and speaking to Tim Newby or one of the members of his team.

Thank you Everett. It was a pleasure for our entire team to help you find your own

"King of Instruments". Make a joyful noise!

Sun City Center United Methodist Church has created a series of mini concerts called "Organ Plus" which can be seen along with their posted worship services on the church's Youtube channel.

To whom it may concern:

Our new Rodgers Infinity 484 organ has dramatically changed the musical landscape of our traditional services here at the United Methodist Church of Sun City Center. In addition to making our fine organist very, very happy (!), it has brought new life to Preludes, Postludes and choral/solo vocal accompaniments.

The palette of orchestral colors and breadth of sound is as good, or better, than any organ I have ever heard. Our prior instrument, a Rodgers introduced in 1982 [analog] served us very well, but it was really on its ‘last legs’. The new Rodgers instrument is a very welcome addition to this rapidly growing congregation. As the Director of Worship Arts at this church, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Rodgers Infinity series organs as well as the excellent folks who provided it for us – Central Music!

Jeff Jordan

Director of Worship Arts

Thank you Jeff for your very kind words, and thanks to everyone involved with your project. The Rodgers pipes from the old analog hybrid organ were a great invenstment and we were excited to incorporate them with your beautiful new organ.
