A 3rd party pack from the UK...





Many typicall european organ sounds
Strangely often these sounds are not seen as a real organ by many US hammond purists...

is there alot of interest in this kind of thing?

Yes, overhere in europe with most older arranger plaers being former home organ players, there definately is a lot of interest in this...

I get a bit weary of the term "outdated". I prefer "nostalgic". Maybe I am outdated as well,but I,and many of my contemporaries, remember the sounds of Wurlitzer, Conn, Gulbranson, and Lowry, to mention just a few I had over the years, in addition to Hammond L,M,A100,and B3's.

I don't play to children who never heard of these instruments because we are both outdated, and that's the way I want it.

All I can think of when I hear that is "ALL SKATE"

Overhere in europe, they made many many recordings with the helios in germany, and quite some with the Eminent grand theatre, which my father owned and on which i learned to play my first organ tunes on...

Later on we build our own Wersi Helios... Which was quite a huge project... He kept on playing both these organs till his death a few years ago...

There is so much nostalgia (i agree with Bernie that is the right word) in both these 2 models for me... And many other european organ players.. But i can also understand Donny, these organ sounds never made the us hitparade and music scene... So that nostalgia mostly lives in europe with 55+ people...
