My pleasure Ken, pleased you enjoyed it ... don't give up on organs ... they are still lots of fun, especially the vintage ones

Mike

There is no connection between the two .... Ringway organs are a product of Ringway Tech (Jiangsu) Co. Ltd, a Chinese company - as you rightly say the organs have been 'doctored' (orla connection) to best suit the 'european ear'. The Yamaha EL range along with every other organ series from Yamaha ar...

Wotcha Hugh, Brian and fellow TDP'ers :D It's been some time since I last visited and posted in the forum, I can see that forum is blossoming nicely under Hugh and Brian's administration ... I'm so pleased for you all. Not much happening my end these days ... still quite busy with the vintage organ ...

Came across this old soundcloud link of the old CraftyMusic Forum 'Christmas Concert 2011' containing tunes played by members - don't know if you can do anything with it Hugh/Brian - there is some good stuff there including tracks from members who have sadly passed on ...

I just love the 'super knob'

You can keep the rest of it though

Gotta be honest ... listening to this sort of %$^&*£ music is not endearing me to the Genos at all ... over on the VOG group there are more than a few present day Yamaha dealers, these respected dealers are not very kind in their evaluation of this new keyboard ... anyone thinking of buying one ...

Just bought a super little organ for a fiver ... still in showroom condition - pictures in the video are of the organ I now have at home

Enjoy a few tracks by Glenn Derringer - maybe I'll record a few myself when I have sussed it out fully



Mike

An example of a popular song with Picardy Third/Cadence is Seal's 'Kiss From A Rose' which incidentally, is also a great piece for a keyboard arrangement

Dave Page bought this .... gonna use some part of the Leslie unit in the Isle of Wight X66 that he modified with the addition of midi and a Technics KN7000 ...

Some of the older keyboard arrangers still have remarkably good sounds even compared to the sounds of the latest models ... the real beauty about them is they don't cost an arm & a leg to buy them - several hundred quid can invariably buy you a good one with extras like stand etc etc ... great i...

Hi Andy,

I reckon I can muster up some names for you although it might help to know what 'brands' are on the list already.

A new three manual model is due out soon to compliment the two existing models ... the Bemore Genesis.

Watch out Wersi, Bohm and Lowrey ....

I have some very sad news about Rocco; reaching a grand old age of 90 .... he passed away peacefully yesterday at his home surrounded by his family. His death comes just a few months after his lovely wife of 60 odd years passed away after a brief illness. Those of you who remember Rocco from this an...
