Q: Our organ is pretty old. Will the Virtual Organist be able to play it?

A: Yes, the Virtual Organist will probably be able to play it. Electro-mechanical and electro-pneumatic instruments are the easiest to convert.

Q: Does this mean our tracker action instrument won't work with the Virtual Organist?

A: No, but mechanical action (tracker) instruments are a little more costly to convert. Please contact us for a quote.

Q: I don't have any computer expertise and I certainly don't want to program the organ week after week. Why is your product so special?

A: The Virtual Organist is played using our revolutionary Sunday Subscription Service. We deliver a CD-ROM containing the music for that particular Sunday. Insert the disc and go. No programming, no hassles, no frustration.

Q: We don't have an organ or organist. Can you help?

A: You bet! Our standard hardware package comes complete with a 25-rank digital organ, brass quartet, oboe, and timpani.

Q: Isn't this just a bunch of MIDI files?

A: Absolutely not! The Sunday Subscription Service contains music played by professional church musicians in real time. The music is not robotic and dry but alive, reflective, and interesting executions of the music. In other words, the music reflects what the congregation sings. Go to our listening room and see for yourself; there is no reason anymore for an empty organ bench on Sunday.

Q: Why are you trying to replace organists?

A: We're not. In fact, it is our belief that where musicians are available to play services, they should be encouraged and fostered in their very important office. Unfortunately, musicians are in short supply and it takes years to cultivate new talent. Rather than let the organ remain silent, we feel it's a better option to keep the artform alive using the latest technology than let the vacuum left by its absence be filled with less than adequate music.
