Combo Organ Roundup 2

This sold for £255 recently.

A monster Viscount Imperial combo organ from around 1972 -75. A true monster in all ways. 70 stops and drawbars! Five octave upper keyboard and four octave lower, PLUS a 17 note pedal board. Drawbars and tabs on the upper at 16,8,51/3,4, 22/3 and 2 ft pitch. Lower at 8,4,2. Pedals 16 and 8. Percusions on the upper at all 6 pitches, Vibrato and everything else you would expect a combo organ to have! PLUS Pianos !! If you remember the Viscount Inst-piano sounds and that of other electronic pianos at that time( vox, Jen, sound city ect) , you have three piano sounds (Piano, Spinet clavichord). On the lower you have Cello and Violins very similar to an Elka Rhapsody string synth, And almost unheard of at that time an ELECTRONIC LESLIE, off/slow/fast and it speeds up and slows down like a real leslie would do, Use the leslie and you can get some good Hammond type sounds, use the vibrato and you can get Farfisa and Vox sounds, and others that you wont get out of any other Combo organ.
