CARE AND MAINTENANCE
As with any fine musical instrument, reasonable care is necessary to protect your investment.
Nonnally no difficulties should be experienced, as only the finest component parts are used by
Rodgers. If your instrument should require service, your Rodgers Service Representative is fully
equipped and qualified to handle any service problems which may arise.
Your new Rodgers organ is not only a fine musical instrument, but also a fine piece of
custom-made furniture, finished to hold its attractiveness through generations of use. Only the best
woods are used, carefully checked for uniformity of grain and intensity of figure and carefully hand
assembled. Each finish coat is thoroughly dried before the next coat is applied. A final catalytic
process protective coat makes the Rodgers console impermeable to many hannful substances. The
resulting finish is lasting and easy to keep looking beautiful. Following are a few tips on caring for
your Rodgers organ.
- CONSOLE AND PEDALBOARD
A frequent dusting with a soft, clean cloth is usually all that is required. A fine quality furniture
oil will enhance the beauty of the wood. Always wipe the surfaces with the grain, using straight,
even strokes.
Since extreme cold, heat or exposure to sunlight may injure the finish of any fine piece of
furniture, neither the console nor finished speaker cabinets should be placed over a heat register or
near a window.
- KEYBOARDS AND TILT TABS
Keyboards and tilt tabs should be cleaned with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and a
mild soap. Avoid dripping water between the keys. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS (alcohol, gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, etc.).
- PLEXIGLAS MUSIC RACK
Use a soft, clean cloth with a mild solution of soap and wann water to clean the music rack.
Wipe dry.
• PIPES ON PIPE-AUGMENTED INSTRUMENTS
To keep the pipes beautiful, refrain from handling them with ungloved hands. You should not
attempt to clean or polish them.
Because handling in any way by non-trained persons can spoil tuning or even cause damage, it is
strongly suggested that the pipes never be handled or touched by anyone but organ service persons.
