"In 1982 we opened here in the Crystal Cathedral, one of the largest and greatest organs to be found anywhere in the world - the work of Fratelli Ruffatti. As an internationally known concert artist, I play dozens of organs each year in many parts of the world, and I can tell you that the organ here has not been surpassed!"

"The Ruffatti organ of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which I helped design and on which I played over 2000 services and 175 Joy of Music television programs, is truly one of the great organs of the world. As other Ruffattis I have played, the individual voices show character and personality, and the full organ is full of fire and life. The tone is relevant and vital! I know whenever I sit at a Ruffatti organ I am in for a special and fulfilling experience."

"While practicing for the 25th anniversary concert, I reflected anew on the things that make our Ruffattis so special. The Principals have a singing quality. The Flutes each have a different character, with a clear, sparkling, unforced tone. The strings are warm. The reeds are prompt in speech...The Trompette de Fete is a favorite of so many who play it.

"Many people do not realize that we also have the first Ruffatti mechanical action organ in America. With only 13 stops and 17 ranks, it is a remarkable little instrument. When Arthur Poister was here 20 years ago, we had his last master class on that organ and he declared that we had saved the best for last!"

"I had the distinct pleasure of working closely with the Ruffatti company during the design and building of my church's new instrument.  Words cannot express my joy at the finished organ.  It was everything I had hoped for, and more.  The tonal spectrum is unbelievable!  There are so many different colors within each stop family. Ruffatti went out of its way to accommodate some of the special stops that I included in my design, and I really appreciate that.  After playing the organ in a service for the first time and hearing the innumerable positive comments and the singing that literally raised the roof, I know that my church and I made the right decision by selecting Fratelli Ruffatti to build our new pipe organ."
