It will of course fall well short, but I am sure Yamaha will try their best.

Suppose it would fit in the back of my SUV for a gig?

No, but if you purchased one of those new, oversized work vans it just might squeeze in. Of course, knowing the price tags for Lowrey, I suspect if you could afford the Lowrey, you could afford a portable stage system that you could tow behind your monster truck to the venues.

My guess... $15,000 for the Lowrey?!? How much do these sell for and how many do they sell?

I'm sure it retails for over $70,000. We had one model that retailed for $100,000 around 2001. But, you have to remember nobody just goes out and buys one without a large trade. It was not uncommon to get $10,000 or $20,000 to boot. A whole different culture than what we do here on SZ.

I agree with Scott. I have a friend that owns a $72,000 Lowrey and it sounds great, but can only do a fraction of the things I can on the PSR-S950. The one in the video will likely go for much more than $72,000.

This is exactly the opposite of the direction i think the tyros 5 is moving to...

If you want a modern organ, best go for OAX and Wersi...

List Price in the US

No Lowrey dealers seem to have prices in advertised as nobody pays the full amount anyway, plus the dealers give over the odds for any trade in, as it looks like you are getting a better deal. (As mentioned in a previous post)

The £ has been going up and down like a yo yo of late, however using a standard (Current) conversion, the list price in the US, should be between $25.000 - $31.000

As to sales, then most models when they are released, go out to new or existing owners as soon as they come in.

Lowrey is priced way over what it's worth and that's to keep you in their league forever. To me it still sounds like a Lowrey that
has been around forever. Wersi can blow it away very easily.
When you go to sell it. get ready for a long wait and you never
get a fraction of the very high price you paid for it.
I know what I'm talking about because I have seen people buy these organs and pay ridiculous prices. Let the Buyer Beware. Lloyd

Way back, before arrangers, I had several generations of Lowreys. The last one was Contempo 80. They were about the only organs back then that had passable auto bass and drums--not real good but passable for the time. I never paid more than about half the asking price for them.
I switched to Yamaha mainly because the dealer became a friend and wanted people to see me playing them. Last huge Yammy was FS500, a real beast. It think it was 1982 or 83. I got tired of lugging it around, along with Leslie, pedals, bench and huge pa. Went to a primitive Yamaha arranger PSR 60 maybe? I midied it to DX7, a drum machine, and a piano module. Mainly what the arranger did was generate bass patterns and basic strums.
We've come a long way!
