Description : This was referred to for a long time as the Kitchen organ for the obvious reason that when I used to record at home it was located in the kitchen. This was the first real chunky electric organ I got home. I picked it up outside of Stockholm. The family had inherited it from one of their parents and now it had become a very loud annoying toy for the kids ( much like the Solina ).
Soundwise it is not that spectacular. Very limited possibilities…Sounds pretty thin and reedy. You can get almost Stylophone typed sounds out of it with a distortion pedal. It has got autokomp rhytms and of course Autobass.
Andreas & jag used it quite a bit due to the fact that it was the only ” real ” organ we had access to. Kind of scary referring to the kitchen organ as a ” real ” organ. The last band to use it ( may 2004 ) was Celestine who used it for one note on the middle eight part for the track Sunflower.
