Yep...this is about the most complex instrument I've ever seen...the Kawai T50.



Kawai's T50, built in 1977, for the company's 50th birthday.

There are four standard manuals and an AGO pedalboard, then 4 short manuals at the right (Orchestral Synthesizers), then there is an arpeggiator manual and a glissando manual to the right of the drawbars. Guess that makes it ten manuals! Originally ran through 32 speakers of various sizes (all big) producing around 16,000 watts of oomph.

First organ to feature a true choir sound, and has the most realistic analogue strings ever. Even has a classical pipe organ division.


You'd be a busy guy with that monster.

Makes the PSR-S900 (and Tyros) look like a flea on an elephant's behind.
