TESTIMONIALS OPUS 10 Erie United Methodist Church, Bedford, IN "When our old organ quit we thought that we probably could not afford a good replacement, due to the fact that our church is a small country church with very limited funds. After visiting the Bloomington showroom we purchased an organ that was definitely affordable and produced outstanding results. Needless to say, we are very happy with our new organ, it gives us the sounds one would expect from much larger installations. Gage Organ Center handled everything in a very professional way and we recommend them to any church needing a replacement organ." Gerald Hodges, Organ Committee Chair SWEELINCK 10 Memorial Baptist Church Columbus, IN "Our church is a smaller church with limited resources. Yet, we wanted an instrument worthy of leading worship, so we began looking at pipe organs. But the initial cost along with the yearly maintenance costs of a real pipe organ were prohibitive. There was no choice but to look at alternatives and we started to collect brochures and made visits to every electronic organ supplier in central Indiana. Could a digital church organ live up to my expectations ? That’s where my journey with Gage Organ Center began. We looked at literature, listened to CD’s and finally visited the showroom to listen firsthand. And to be honest, I was blown away ! It was as if we were listening to a very large pipe organ. Each sound was meticulously recreated. We researched a few other large digital organ companies, but Johannus was by far the best. We ordered our Sweelinck 10 and in no time at all it was installed, and I must say, I was blown away a second time when I heard the organ in our own church ! I thought the sound would be good, but the sound was sublime ! I couldn’t have been happier. I’ve also been extremely impressed with the support I have received from Gage Organ Center. In closing, if you’re looking for an outstanding instrument that could rival some of the best pipe organs found in the world today for a fraction of the cost, then look no further. I give Johannus digital church organs the highest recommendation. Thank you Johannus, for making our dreams a reality" ! Barry Daugherty, Director of Music REMBRANDT 4900 Dr. James R. Otworth Dayton, OH Private Residence "I wanted the finest electronic organ that could be built for my new home. I did my research, both played and listened to the competition, and talked at length with several representatives from the various organ companies. The truth was.... there was no competition. Johannus organs excelled in every way.... from craftsmanship to the purity of the reproduced pipe organ sounds. I made the right decision when I purchased my Rembrandt 4900 organ and Gage Organ Center people deserve many thanks for providing me with unsurpassed service. Visitors to my home are dazzled not only by the cathedral-like acoustics and sound produced, but also by the overall beauty of the organ itself along with the design and placement of the speaker cabinetry. Such a grand instrument could only have been designed and built by the very best in the business and the people at Gage Organ Center’s flair for perfection made it all possible. My Rembrandt 4900 has given me countless hours of pleasure and I am certain that it will continue to do so for many years to come. I am so pleased that I made the RIGHT decision”! Dr. James Otworth REMBRANDT 370 Mr. & Mrs. John Spain Cincinnati, OH Private Residence "Our experience with Johannus has been excellent. When we began our search for a new instrument, the people at Gage Organ Center were knowledgeable and very fair. We spent many hours in the showroom playing different organs. The choice was easy and we ordered our own Rembrandt 370 Johannus organ. After a most professional installation, the organ exceeds our expectations and has been a joy and inspiration to play. My wife and I are both church organists and spend many pleasurable hours practicing. We look forward to many years of dependable service from the instrument and many delightful hours of practicing”! John & Bonnie Spain OPUS 5 Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church Morgantown, IN "When our church needed a new organ to replace a functional but worn out older one we started our search for a worthy instrument. After looking at others, we visited Gage Organ Center and experienced several different Johannus organs. Our group was truly amazed at the great variety of sounds, the quality and the value of the Opus 5 and we recommended it to the congregation. Soon after, the organ was installed. We are still hearing comments on the beauty of sound and quality that the organ has given us during our worship services. We made the right decision to purchase the Johannus organ." Gary Hoover, Vice Chairman SWEELINCK 20 St. Mary's Catholic Church Lanesville, IN "Last year we received donations for a new electronic organ. We met with the Gage Organ people and we were able to purchase a Johannus Sweelinck 20 organ that satisfies the physical requirements of the church and stay within our budget. The expertise of Gage Organ in electronics and acoustics gave us the confidence to know that the installation would result in a beautiful addition to St. Mary's. Everyone at St. Mary's is extremely pleased with the sound and all our organists appreciate the "user-friendly" console and have adjusted to it very quickly. The beautiful wood and quality of the console are also noticed by parishioners and visitors. The Gage Organ people went to great length to install the speakers in the most unobtrusive manner, while placing them in locations that take full advantage of the acoustics of the church. I would recommend not only the Johannus brand of digital church organs, but also the Gage Organ services as consultant and installer. Our congregational singing has improved and the organ fulfills the requirements for performing a wide variety of organ literature. We look forward to many years of beautiful music in our church and again, are thankful to Gage Organ Center and the Johannus Company for our new Sweelinck 20 organ". Dr. Janet Hamilton, Music Director /Organist. Professor of Music at Indiana University Southeast, New Albany SWEELINCK 30 Mr. Gary Jenkins Terre Haute, IN Private Residence "We finally made the decision to replace our electronic organ at home. Because of my former twenty-six year involvement with the pipe organ industry, we investigated the leading digital church organ builders and carefully considered which one we would do business with. The Johannus representative most graciously answered my many questions and I was provided with solid information concerning the building of their instruments, the voicing capabilities, stop changes from standard specifications, guarantees, the engineering and R & D departments. I found the Johannus dealer to be most accommodating and they actually welcomed my suggestions and requests. Having played several of their models we found the experience most gratifying both tonally and also with console performance. We rented on three occasions a Johannus for community functions and were delighted with the performance on all events. We have complete confidence in Johannus and their local representative and ordered our organ for fall delivery this year. Dollar for dollar a Johannus is the most sound investment and we have the utmost confidence that the tonal aspects of the organ will be superb and the craftsmanship outstanding".
