The music was recorded on a Wersi Helios W2S deluxe spinet organ, not on a Hammond organ. The organ was manufactured between the 1970's and early 1980's. Then Wersi replaced that model with the DMS organ series in the mid 1980's.

Heel erg bedankt, mlschaap! Deze uitvoering van Klaus Wunderlich is voor mij een waar genot voor de oren!!

@kaferere Please listen to his album "in Concert", he played it live at the Royal Albert Hall, just with two hands and his feet. No backing tracks or doubles. Please take a look at his demonstration video's for Wersi here on YouTube. When you are such a professional as you say then you have to hear the great arrangements KW has made on his albums. He was a genius on Hammond, Wersi, Lowrey organs as well on Moog Synths and Bechstein Grand Piano's, The only difference, his music was commercial.

@organman2dave Sorry mate, I have every right to judge him, this is a comments page and I can voice my opinion, and having been a professional player for 40 years makes me qualified to do so. KW stigmatized the organ. When the general public think of organists they think of the KW tripe and sparkly jackets. You have every right to enjoy KW but you have no right to stifle opinions. Please remember that Big Macs outsell most other foods. Does that mean they're good?

[organman2dave]

@kaferere , Now, and With the greatest respect for all concerned, and to an organist who isn't here to represent himself, it is now time to leave Klaus Wunderlich alone... Just leave him alone... At what he did, he was good, very good, and I myself, have no right to judge him, especially when my video on here, isn't very good, even after 25 years of practice...

[kaferere]

@organman2dave Believe me, even if you're a beginner, if you played 2 hrs a day for the next six months you'd surpass KW entirely. Have a listen to Jackie Davis, Milt Buckner, Alan Haven's old stuff on Lowrey and Viscount, also George Fleury, Yuri Tachibana and Ryouki Tamaguchi. I'm not saying you'll enjoy all the styles but these people could all play sensationally well in real-time. It would take a lifetime to learn to play like them. Study chord-theory and passing-scales and you be surprised.

@kaferere I don't know about the things Klaus Wunderlich couldn't do, but I do so wish I could do the things he could do... And for that, I can only practice, practice, practice...

[kaferere]

@organman2dave Again I agree with you on most of what you're saying but my point is that there were organists before KW and hundreds of organists after KW that could in fact do what KW couldn't. It's true that there is a limitation of parts that can be played but then it comes down to arrangement and illusion which surely is the primary reason why we listen to an organist and not a band in the first place? You are quite rare in that you understand KW multitracked, the adoring fans seem to deny.

[organman2dave]

@kaferere to be fair... It is obviously impossible to play without multi-tracking... Musicality would make it impossible to play more than one part-left hand, one part-right hand, one part left foot, and just possibly right foot too. So in live performance us organists, would find it impossible to play more than say , 4 parts plus auto rhythm simultaneously... I can't do it myself... In the studio, we all apply polish and shine... Extra fill-ins, 'tighten it up a bit! It was okay for ABBA!.

[kaferere]

@organman2dave I agree with you entirely but KW is held to be an organist and the majority of people utterly believe that he played all the parts of his recordings simultaneously. I've yet to hear a recording by KW that wasn't multi-tracked. KW could play the organ in the true fashion as he proved live but was no musician. People also hold Jimmy Smith to be a true organist yet he played the bass part with his left hand and played no left hand chords whatsoever in the grand scheme of things.
