Robert A. Daffer founded our company in July 1977. Bob had been the manager of the church organ department at a local full line dealer of musical instruments. His vision was to form a company that would specialize in organ installations for houses of worship, not merely make the sale of church organs part of a large retail business. The dream was to handle electronic organs in the artistic and individualistic way that fine pipe organ builders had done for centuries. In 1977, the Rodgers Organ Company awarded him the Baltimore territory. Rodgers' organ building technology and philosophy matched the individualized, custom installation approach that was Bob's goal. Bob's immediate success in the Baltimore area led to a quick expansion into the Washington, DC area.
