Organ Tunes even Organ Haters will love! IV If you've listened to the 600 organ videos in my first 3 organ playlists with the same title then you are obviously an organ lover by now. Hopefully you've picked up your own organ by now. My collection cost as much as a house new, but my investment has been less than $1,000 total for 10 organs. This amount was even offset by the two organs I was able to sell for approximately $700. My Gulbransen Rialto II commanded a $22,000 price tag in 1976. That was well over 1 years income for most people in 1976. I got it for free! The most beautiful organ playing you'll ever hear is by John Winters. On the album 'Organ Moods John Winters at the Might Wurlitzer' it sounds as if John is playing an electrostatic reed organ at times. It's difficult to determine, but only during certain sections do the Tibia voices ( or flute voices...you know these are the voices which sound best through the spinning Leslie speaker) sound a bit like the transistorized tibia's of a later, 1960's model. Otherwise I am certain he is playing what must be a Wurlitzer 4800, the grandest of the Wurlitzer electrostatic ( or ES) organ line. Invented in the late 1920's by a worker at the Everett Piano and Organ Company, the ES design utilized the reeds only for the harmonic accuracy of the vibrating reeds. The reeds sound was not heard by the listener, but instead the reeds oscillations were converted to electronic waveforms and manipulated for electronic reproduction. If you look up 'Wurlitzer 4600 series organ' you will find a great website dedicated to the great electrostatic reed organs and unlocking the mystery of their design. BTW John Winters spent over 40 years playing the organ for various soap opera's and this is how he became a master beyond compare. You must really check out his record on my channel or in the playlists. I try to have variety on my organ play lists, but since I am not very fond of Hammond B3 jazz or blues playing ( only a few hold my attention and they are usually the ones who make lots of mistakes, which to me sounds more real than the 'super chops' players). Also not fond of trained classical playing. Again there are exceptions, but players like John Winters don't come along every day. Another favorite of mine is John La Duca at the Wurlitzer 4500 ( posted a complete album on III playlist and also on my channel...just click my name by the video and it will show my other videos).      Play all 200 videos Play all(200)
