Where Tradition Meets Innovation
For over 65 years, RODGERS has built the finest American digital and hybrid organs — instruments so faithful to the pipe organ tradition that congregations, organists, and audiences hear the difference the moment the first note sounds. As your exclusive Midwest RODGERS dealer, Watson Pipe Organ brings three generations of pipe organ expertise together with RODGERS’ groundbreaking technology to deliver instruments of extraordinary beauty and power to churches, concert halls, and homes across Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri.
DS-Core Technology
At the heart of every current RODGERS organ is Direct Streaming (DS-Core) — a revolutionary technology platform that fundamentally changes what a digital organ can do. Unlike traditional systems that load samples into working memory, DS-Core streams high-resolution recordings directly from industrial-grade storage in real time, with no delay and no interruption.
Power on and play in approximately 10 seconds. Hundreds of Voice Palette™ stops are instantly available — no upload delays, no waiting. Switch between complete organ styles on the fly without any interruption to your performance.
Every note of every rank is an individual high-resolution sample recorded from renowned pipe organs worldwide. No borrowing, no unification, no duplications. Digital Domain Expression™, Digital Dynamic Wind™, and Random Tuning work together so the organ sounds and behaves like a true pipe instrument.
Organists and tuners can adjust the fine tuning and character of digital voices live — without resetting the instrument. Combine stops from American Eclectic, English Cathedral, French Romantic, and German Baroque styles to create a stoplist uniquely yours.
AGO-standard velocity-sensitive keyboards and pedalboards respond to your touch with expressive precision. Performance Touch™ technology, built-in headphone practice mode, USB recording and playback, wireless hymn player, and an intuitive LCD display make every session effortless.
TSS provides 12 authentic real-reverb environments recorded in notable American churches, ranging from 2 to 10 seconds in length. Dimensional Sound Placement™ projects sound along the same paths that pipe organ sound flows, filling your sanctuary with brilliant spatial presence.
Industrial-grade storage hardware provides a longer lifetime compared to consumer electronics found in PC-based alternatives. Designed, built, and supported in Hillsboro, Oregon with over $1.5 million in parts inventory to ensure lifetime service for every RODGERS organ.
Infinity Series
The pinnacle of American organ craftsmanship. Infinity Series organs are built for the grandest worship spaces and most demanding concert settings — delivering a level of sound, power, and versatility that redefines what a digital instrument can achieve. Powered by DS-Core technology with Dimensional Imaging™, every stop is independently sampled from world-renowned pipe organs and projected along authentic acoustic paths. Pipe-compatible from the factory, the Infinity Series is the foundation for breathtaking hybrid instruments.
Imagine Series
The Imagine Series represents an extraordinary balance of power, versatility, and craftsmanship — delivering a world-class playing experience at every level. With DS-Core technology, Voice Palette™ offering four complete organ styles on every stop, and an extensive 88-stop Organ Library, the Imagine puts an astonishing breadth of tonal color at the organist’s fingertips. Available in both drawknob and tab configurations, with two- and three-manual consoles, there is an Imagine for every sanctuary and every organist.
Inspire Series
Designed and built in Hillsboro, Oregon in the rich tradition of American pipe organs, the Inspire Series proves that exceptional RODGERS sound and craftsmanship are within reach for every congregation. Voice Palette™ gives organists four complete styles — American Eclectic, English Cathedral, French Romantic, and German Baroque — plus an Organ Stop Library with additional voices. From the two-manual 234 to the three-manual 352, the Inspire Series is where tradition truly meets innovation.
The American Series
The newest addition to the RODGERS family, the American Series distills three distinct American organ traditions — American Classic, American Symphonic, and American Eclectic — into a versatile, accessible platform. Every stop is individually recorded using RODGERS’ high-resolution sampling process, ensuring pure, unborrowed sound for every note. For churches seeking an authentic American pipe organ voice with modern reliability and minimal footprint, the American Series delivers brilliantly.
RODGERS Hybrid Organs
This is where Watson Pipe Organ’s three generations of pipe organ expertise and RODGERS’ digital innovation come together in a truly remarkable way. A RODGERS hybrid organ unites winded pipes with state-of-the-art digital technology — transforming aging or limited pipe organs into instruments of extraordinary beauty, flexibility, and power. With thousands of hybrid installations worldwide, RODGERS is the global leader in blending acoustic and digital voices seamlessly.
All Imagine and Infinity Series consoles are pipe-compatible from the factory. RODGERS’ Pipe Integration Manager (PIM) and auto-tuning technology keep digital voices perfectly in tune with your pipework as temperature and conditions change — something no other manufacturer can match. Whether you’re preserving a cherished instrument, expanding a limited specification, or building something entirely new, Watson Pipe Organ and RODGERS can design a hybrid solution that brings your vision to life while respecting your budget.
