“When it became clear that our parish was going to need a new digital organ, and from my 50-plus years of playing in various churches, there was only one choice: Allen!

Our Allen Organ representative, with whom I’ve worked with before, listened to both my wants in an organ console, and our needs with our expanding parish’s music ministry program. From our discussions, we purchased a new Allen GENISYS organ with Allen’s APEX Technology in a French Terrace console prepared for a mechanical Zimbelstern.

The French Terrace console has been wonderful, allowing me better visibility of the Sanctuary and the choir. The parishioners have noticed the variety of sounds with the new Allen and are very pleased with the instrument.  The reeds work well as an ensemble, and the Celestes are very sweet and soft. For a Two-Manual organ, there is a great variety of sound that it can produce, giving me more flexibility in playing. It has been very rewarding!”
