Quite.  It just isn't the same without the organ.  So much, in fact, that at my church where the organ and piano are at opposite ends of the sanctuary, the band sets up on the organ side.  I default to the organ and use the piano when I need to.

[Mysteryman]

I think it depends on how I feel. Sometimes the piano seems more appropriate other times the organ but the organ is better most Sunday's because of that bass.

not in my spot. An organ is an afterthought.

The organ is very important to our service.  I go months at a time without getting on the piano and we don't have a band, just myself and a drummer.

Only reason why we got one (korg CX-3) is cus its mine, and i brung it.

Music isn't critical where you are at but you play 3 boards?/  Anyone find anything funny with that statement?

The organ isn't important at my church mainly because we don't have one, but I do think the organ is a very important part in achieve that traditional gospel sound.

if you've seen Dr Price on TV, when have you seen music?

It plays a huge part in our servives. Our HAMMOND C-3 went out on us, but we go a new replacement (a HAMMOND), and it is awesome. We are soon getting the old HAMMOND repaired, and up and running again.

Most television ministries don't highlight their music ministries. Jakes, White, Bryant; you rarely see their choirs or praise teams.

[Metronome]

It is very important..........i've seen cats who are sooooooo sweet on piano get the ax because they CANNOT play organ and all churches (COGIC, Baptist, AME, CME, whoever) got organs in my parts

It's like that here too.  The churches that don't have a Hammond are the ones that can't afford one yet.

[fmason3]

I usually play organ the entire service at my Adventist church on Saturdays and the AME on Sundays...but this past Sabbath I only played my motif 7 and ran bass on my oxygen 61 through my laptop (reason 3.0) and church ROCKED...in my situation, it depends on the mood of service and the song selection.

Wolfman,  What do you use to amplify your CX3?   At one point, I ran it through 2 amps(Roland KC550 and Peavy KB300)  Now I'm spoiled because it sounds crappy to me when not in stereo.

yeh, i got a KC 500 also, but in tha church i patch into the house via D.I. boxes, and we monitor via in ear personal mixers.


But the KC series is hot tho.

The organ itself isn't really meaningful, but that organ sound is very meaningful during those high praise times at my church.
