Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).

Auction for an early 60s reed organ. The chord sounds in particular have an instant charm and appeal. Mostly working and certainly useable as it is.

Product Description

Borrowed these words from someone else's listing online because they sum this instrument up so well:

It's a "reed-based, mechanical instrument that sounds a lot like an accordion. Plug it in, hear the comforting whirl of the fan speed up and then play full chords with the touch of one of the buttons on the side and accompany with your right hand on the piano keys. Killer for indie rock, folk, polkas, Italian cafe music, French film soundtracks, etc."

Tested, safe, almost all working. A couple of keys don't seem to sound but all the chord buttons work (and for us they are where much of the magic is with an instantly evocative sound). You will get tuning irregularities with these organs anyway (due to the fan not blowing enough air through the reeds) as well as drift in tuning between the chord buttons and certain notes. All part of the charm and easy enough to adjust in your DAW of choice.

No warranty on auction items.
