    Hi,
    Came across your forum while searching for 'Content Church Organs' which we are the importer for in the UK, and would like to answer a few questions and queries concerning Content organs which I have viewed on the forum. My Father, Ron Keeping, teamed up with Bert Foppen about 30 years ago, and spent about three months with Bert in Holland voicing an organ for himself. There was so much interest in this new church organ in the UK, my Father was offereds the chance to import these for the UK market which the family have done for the last 30 years.
    One problem that is coming to light are companies offering church organs from different european countries to the whole of Europe. Those considering this must remember that the voicing will be the voicing of that particular country and also the pedalboard will probably be straight and not radiating concave which is the norm for the UK.
    Just like to thank the people that run this forum for allowing all of us to express our views, thoughts and ideas to each other.

    Hi Bruce!
    Welcome to the Forum!
    I am sure that you are going to find lots of questions and answers that can be useful to you ;-)
    BTW, i own a Content D5800 ;-)

    P.S: I had spoken with your father on the phone when i was trying to decide where from to buy the organ, so i bet he remembers me. (If you tell him Nicholas from Greece it will ring some bells :P)

    Regards,
    Nick
