Glyn Madden playing the Yamaha HS8 Organ in about 1986/7 - Gospel John

I'd believe that this is from 1987 when the HS series was released

It must have been a horrid time to be an organist- organs like the Kawai T-5 was still probably thousands on the used market, but it simply blew this Yamaha out of the water. Now you can get this HS8 on Craigslist today here in Columbus Ohio for $120 and the Kawai T-5 is only about $1,500 and to be honest, I've heard hundreds of organs, but next to Hammond the Kawai T-5 was the most amazing organ I've ever heard. Those are just two examples, but NOW is a great time to be an electronic organist!

In the hands of this gifted organ player, the most cheap no brand keyboard would sound good! Man, he sure can play!

But to be honest, i still am amazed how good this sounds, as i guess the sound is recorded with the built in mic from the camera, and not direct recorded, as this is taped in 1986/7 :-D

Thanks for sharing, good to hear those oldschool organs back in action!

Amazing "demonstration" of the features. I like the "old" sounds :) Does the HS-8 switch Regs automatically? I haven't try it on the HS-6 when I played it... :)

I do rate the organ solo break. Jimmy Smith would've been proud if this one.

The Hammond sound is very good for the 'organ' solo break.
