We've come a long way.



Actually was used by the "Three Dog Night" while recording "There is a jungle out there" in the 80's.

Nice find that, I remember them well, they always sold well at Christmas as presents for the kids and then relinquished to the closet by January before being dropped off at the charity shop (Thrift Store) during a clean out later in the year.

Actually they did not become known as arranger keyboards until the 90s, up to then they were known as ether portable keyboards or single manual organs, (Which is exactly where they came from) and just like today suffer from repetitive sounds, as you have to adapt you’re playing to the board, unlike an organ which you meld into your own style.
