Lowrey Organ

[fuzzywolf]

I know someone who is offering me a Lowrey mardi gras L55 organ for little to no cost.

Does ANYONE know ANYTHING about these?

Probably going to go through with the deal regardless. I just wanna know what I should expect.

dude looks bommmb.

my friend picked up a cheaper looking lowery off the street recently..its a ton of fun to play with.

does it have a rhythm section?:

To be honest, I know absolutely nothing about this organ or organs in general.
Which is why I'm asking the mighty, all-knowing community of ILF

^u will have alot of fun with it then...organs are awesome

Yeah man, all of those kinda organs are fun to have to goof around with if you have the room. I bet you could even get under the hood and rig yourself up a 1/4" output without too much trouble if you were so inclined.

[fuzzywolf]

Thats a good idea kosta!

My great grandma had an electric organ (I can't remember the brand/model for the life of me).
I remember playing around with that thing so much when I was little. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was sweet.

I used to have a Hammond organ in my room which eventually took a shit and died. Instead of carrying it back down a flight of stairs we dissembled it with a sledge hammer and through the parts out a window.

Yeah, I don't know anything about that specific model, but it looks to be solid state from the Seventies.

I don't know that organ specificly, but I played that kind of organs a few times and they are really fun.. The drummachines are also very cool in most I played!

Nice, you're welcome.

I really love that Combo Heaven website. Gives me combo organ GAS every time.

Take any 1/4 input you wire up, run it trough Sonuus to a computer and run it as a midi keyboard, if so inclined. Project - three hundred bucks.

[fuzzywolf]

Hmm I'll definitely keep that in mind
