In a world where consumer products have become commodities, many are manufactured with similar qualities.  The church organ field is unique with two very different levels of quality available: professional-grade and consumer-grade.

Church organs with professional-grade quality are manufactured for product longevity and long-term serviceability.  Organs manufactured to consumer-grade quality are less expensive, but have shorter lifespans, more similar to that found in most consumer products.

The heritage of professional-grade church organs comes from pipe organs with many serving for decades.  Most digital church organs manufacturers no longer adhere to this standard.  Objective side-by-side comparisons are telling.

The photograph comparisons below show the difference between professional-grade and consumer-grade organ quality.
