0:35 If i were listening to this video but not watching it I would have though the organ and the organist just melted all of a sudden... lol. is there a proper name for that blues trick?
@theironfreak its called turning off the organ while playing it. the tone wheel generator is slowing down (usually its at a continuous speed synched up to the 60hz power)
Pleeease where is it possible to get parts? Impossible to find a leslie where i live (the Canary Islands, Spain) and transport of a real one would cost more than the leslie itself! I use an old, analog Korg CX3 organ with a Hughes and Kettner overdrive tube pedal, but would love to build a real leslie to go with it as well.
I just tuned off the power long enough for the motor to lose sync and turned on the power again to keep the tubes going. It's an old blues trick. Another thing trick is to hit the starter motor while the organ is running to make the organ go sharp but you get an obnoxious buzz.
Hmm, buy one for $1,200 or build one for under $200 and have conversation piece. If you haven't noticed in the video, I already have a manufactured Leslie.
I ment no disrespect, I have tryed building one of these in the past (to no avail, due to lack of funds) and understand a kind of anguish associated in the construction of such a thing. my comment was merely a reflection of past frustrations. : )
No disrespect was assumed. Anyway, watch "experiment 4" of this series to see the almost complete version. I've made a few minor improvements since then though.
Thanks, I'll probably post more videos as I get closer to the final product and spend more time on them. I just used the video capture function on my digital still camera.
That is so GOOFY.
I love it.

That's swell. Hang a set of mini blinds in front of the Leslie horn and you can have some really slick ghetto swell shades to add expression.

I don't know, I'm no organist by any stretch of the imagination.

@theironfreak it's just toggling the power switch. It's fun, especially when you have a tube amp and it takes a while for it to shut down.

@theironfreak
its just the slowing down from the tonewheels, after the organ's put off

@theironfreak Basically hitting the brake on the Leslie to stop it spinning. Standard trick

You know, I got all my parts of Ebay from essentially gutted Leslies. The only "authentic" Leslie stuff I've bought to date are this horn & driver.

i was wondering.
you reached under the organ, did something, then the organ lowered in pitch until it was silent.
what was it?

Excellent!
I only wish the camera mic was a little closer to the horn so I could distinguish the choral effect a little better.
