[musictlk] Two Questions concerning Keyboards

[Linda Mentink]

Weird stuff. We had a Rogers at my former church. It was easy to use 
as a blind person, and had wonderful voices, and lots of them. There 
were two models, and our music committee chose the piece of furniture 
rather than the moveable one, much to my displeasure. The piece of 
furniture had way less voices. I'm sorry I don't know the model 
number, or if it's still being made!

Blessings,

Linda
