Allen is out of the running, Johannus never was in the running, and Viscount is likely going to be eliminated next. That means the main two we're looking at are Rodgers and Phoenix. I've played on some, but both in less-than-ideal rooms - the first in a showroom and the other in a small, carpeted church with poor acoustics. Looks like I'll be traveling to hear some better installations next before I can make a really good judgment on sound.

The Phoenix console I saw was solid. Way better construction than the Johannus. It was missing a case for the swell pedals, however.

Johannus construction is indeed very poor. The dealer who installed our organ, was simultaneously called in to take over the installation of a custom monarke organ (that cost even more than our organ) only 20 miles away (an installation that I’ve since visited). He was quite shocked at how poor the construction was on the johannus — especially considering it was a monarke custom order — and impressed at how nice our new Rodgers model was built. The cabinetry in the newer Rodgers is quite handsome and most of it is made of solid wood, and the cabinetry is indeed very fine. The two don’t really compare. Most of the johannus is veneered particle board, and the stop jambs are so hilariously cramped you can barely fit your fingers in between the knobs to pull them out (I am not being hyperbolic). For an organ that cost a not unsubstantial amount more than ours, and had double the number of channels, it sounded very poor indeed. The incumbent there was hired on after the purchase was made and he was very disappointed, and lamented to me what a pity it was. He had the equivalent of my new organ at his previous post, and he told me point blank that we had definitely made the right call. I felt so sorry for him.

Have you actually had some organ companies over to look at your church, or is the impossibility of a pipe organ somethimg generally assumed? I have never seen a situation where a pipe organ in impossible..Many creative soloutions can be found...installing long pipes sideways, unifying divisions to reduce space etc etc. I have seen where people say "there is no room" and the organ company (Ross King in this instance) was able to create a beautiful instrument in the space. People don't know what an organbuilder can do.
Also, there may be a not too expensive way to alter your church space to accommodate pipework.

while we would still like to add pipes at our church, we are looking at having to spend close to 10k to have hvac repositioned, and another substantial sum to have the loft reinforced with special support footings going down to the foundations (and all to only gain a 13’ cubed space). Our particular church was literally built with an analogue organ in mind (very small & shallow chambers at the front above the side altar niches, and a loft not built to hold any substantial weight), so realistically, since we can’t afford any loft space, the preferable option (if you can call it that) would be to pull a meinrad and put something behind the altar, or block a side altar entirely, which presents its own tremendous hurdles. We really are very stymied in what we can do without resorting to spending a large sum just to fix the building.

Something suspended??

A small pipe organ for the new place where I work. It was built originally in 1905 but will be restored and new stops added. Price: 70,000$

We looked at electronic but there were many options with old pipe organs. Found this one in New England and will arrive Easter 2024.
