The Real MC Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 There has be more than one organ shown in those pics. The fallboard in the first pic can't possibly match the ones showing the 3rd manual (someone shoehorned a Wulry in that thing?!?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRollins Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I've got an A-100, but am not familiar with the internal layout of a B3. I don't understand what I'm seeing. Did someone shoehorn a piano in above the B3's drawbars? Picture 4 seems to show the hammers in the white cabinet, separate and distinct from the B3. Does that back up against the B3 somehow, with some sort of mechanical linkage? For the moment, I'm going to assume that the shorty pipes are just for show. I'm confused. Someone check the calendar. Is it April Fool's? Grey I'm not interested in someone's ability to program. I'm interested in their ability to compose and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MathOfInsects Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Near as I can tell: There is 1) a B3, which apparently also comes with 2) a leslie, according to the ad; 3) a hidden 3rd-tier board that controls the hammers in 4) a (separate) piano console that attaches to the first through magic, 5) the Fisher Spacexpander reverb unit, because I think we can all agree this would have been confusing without one; 6) pipes, because duh, OBVIOUSLY it comes with pipes, 7) pedals, 8) a bench, and 9) a marimba, because duh, OBVIOUSLY if it has pipes it is going to have a marimba.

timwat Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Clarke's three laws: 1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. 2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. 3.

Ledbetter Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I bet that came out of a church. When I was a kid, our church's Hammond had an extra keyboard attached to play a carillon (church bells.) it wasn't a four octave keyboard though. I bet they had the piano installed so one musician could do double duty. My second guess would be that it's from an old theater.

GRollins Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 A church, maybe, but would a theater have the money to undertake such a project?

lightbg Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 IIRC didn't Southern California have a restaurant chain called "Pizza and Pipes" a few years back? This could be a mutant escapee from one of those franchises..... Also there was a guy who did an organ single back in the 70's that had an extra set of key contacts installed that triggered solenoids connected to mallets over a marimba mounted behind him on a wall.......good sound, great visual.
