This guys must have about 3 Lowrey spinet organs? I have 6 organs as I have a bid for another organ. Lowrey Contempo 80, Hammond T series (Last one manufactured), Wersi Prisma DX-5, Thomas Eldorado 792, Wurlitzer Omni 6500 keyboard computer. (Professional combo organ) Sears Galaxy (Same as the Thomas Keyboard Combo)
I collect Lowrey organs & have around 20 including three 'full size' console models. I also have two full size WurliTzers, a Full size Hammond & various others.
Do not think ol Blue Eyes would have sung it quite like this, but yours is a great version. It sounds fantastic. purchased a Lowrey Serenade, and am so happy, Ihave had lots of music training various instruments, including accordion,close as I come to organ. The Easy Buttons are my saving grace. But I sure do admire someone with your talent who can skip all that. I am going to tell my fellow classmates at Lowrey Fletcher Music they should tune in to this clip. It is inspirational!!!!!
It's one of the 'easy play' features....that is of no use to me because I don't do 'chords' but play the music as written with both hands & pedals. The Automatic Organ Computer works like this. If you play a chord with your left hand & then play a single note on the upper manual with the AOC on, then the AOC system automatically plays turns your single note right hand into right hand chords.
AKA: TGS-1 I had one of these back in the day. It was a nice piece.

Glad you noticed that I don't use any auto features or chord techniques. Both hands & pedals are played from the music.

Hi, is that the d300 you are playing there?
I recently got given one of those (or one that looks just like it :p) and i was looking for the exact make so i can get the manuals and stuff.
They're great aren't they? :D

Awesome! That's a help.
Erm, one more question if you dont mind 0:)
What does the A.O.C button do? I don't think mine works, but it's hard to tell if you don't know what it's meant to be doing anyway...

@g0ojf Exactly right on the AOC. Was a big innovation for Lowrey back in the 70s.
