Reversibles
Rodgers organs are equipped with a number of reversible controls, so named because pressing
them once will activate the function, pressing them again will deactivate the function. These
reversibles, located on thumb and toe pistons, are especially useful in a performance when you
want to quickly activate or remove a single coupler, stop or other setting. Press the thumb or toe
piston to turn on, and press again to turn off. All reversible thumb pistons light when activated.
Expression Shoes and Controls
Rodgers three manual organs have two Expression Shoes and a Crescendo Shoe that are used
to control the volume and registration of the organ. The left shoe normally controls the volume
of the Choir division and the middle shoe controls the volume of the Swell and Solo divisions.
When the expression shoe is pressed forward, the volume of the division is increased. When the
shoe is drawn back, the volume of the division decreases. The positions of the two expression
shoes are displayed on two expression indicators, located on the right-hand side of the coupler
rail or on the display.
Crescendo Shoe and Controls
The slightly raised shoe on the right is the Crescendo shoe. This shoe gradually adds a
predetermined selection of stops as it is pressed forward. It does not affect the stops already in
use on the organ but merely adds to them as the Crescendo is activated. Closing the Crescendo
shoe subtracts the stops in reverse order. Stops added by the Crescendo shoe do not indicate
they are activated. A Crescendo indicator, which shows the position of the Crescendo shoe, is
