Hello any HW folks in the Pacific NW Inland Empire area,
Ron Pearson (Northwest Organs - Spokane, WA) called me today. He mentioned that he has just taken in an older Johannus 2-manual organ. He thinks it would be great to convert it to a Hauptwerk system. (Though it would be tempting for me, I really want to stay with a 3-manual console.)
Ron says the Johannus has very good quality keyboards. The pedals and bench are very well made and in great shape. He is now in the process of removing the old electronics. He will leave the rest of the console shell intact for a short time in case anyone wants the console for HW. Otherwise, he will strip out the keyboards and use the other parts as spares for other organs.
If this would be of interest to you please contact Ron for more details here:
