"Today's organ dedication is the culmination of many prayers and as the psalmist said, "It feels like a dream". I want to give special thanks to Ken Brown and the R.A. Daffer Church Organ Company for their work in acquiring and installing the organ. They made what could have been an arduous process effortless."

“Our organ committee looked at four different brand names of organs. To make a long story short, we purchased a Rodgers from Al Murrell at R.A. Daffer Church Organs. We were impressed with the instrument, the technology, and Al's concertn for the propoer installation and placement of speakers for our sanctuary. What a joy to play this fine instrument!”

“I must admit that I was more interested in speaking with your leading competitor, as I was more familiar with their current offerings. After attending two demonstrations from both companies, I am not sorry to say that my entire attitude was changed. There is just a difference between the color and clarity of the Rodgers Organ over what we heard from your competitor. We know that we have made the right choice and would be thrilled to highly recommend you and your company to any congregation!”

“The congregation of New Hope Presbyterian Church wished to thank you and the entire R.A. Daffer organization for your help in the purchase and installation of our Rodgers digital electronic organ. With your help, our sanctuary is now filled with a well balanced, highly musical, glorious sound that is virtually indistinguishable from a pipe organ. We could not be more pleased with the service your have given us.”
Fred Hill, Chairman, organ search committee

“The installation in January 1999, and its musical results, have drawn a continuing stream of admirers to the organ loft over the past two months, not only from within our congregation, but from around the Washington area by clergy, musicians, and friends who cannot believe that what they are hearing is large pipe organ without pipes… I’m happy to share our experience with others that may be going through the same process we just completed. Many thanks to Ken Brown and your colleagues at Daffer Church Organs, and I especially thank you for never making a derogatory comment about (another organ brand). You let the excellence of sound and construction of your organs speak for themselves.”
Walt Rossbach, Minister of Music

“I know that I can speak for Monica Otal, the Organ Search Committee and the Fund Raising Committee when I say that we are deeply appreciative of the manner in which every phase of the acquisition of this now organ was handled. Let me just say on a more personal note that I was very impressed with the whole operation, and actually was fascinated to be around when the new organ was installed. It was fun!
