I guess the flexibility would be nice, of it would be great to have a double kb rig at home, but personally I barely scratch the surface of exploring the capabilities of the gear I have now.
Glad I'm not tempted to get into all of the WORK assembling pseudo-organs!
They sound great though.

Yes DonM you are right but it depends on how you look at it. Lee and I belong to a different strain in this forum smile We want an organ but we don't want to spend a fortune on one and we enjoy this hobby at home thinking how to build the beast. Well actually Lee has been thinking this for more than a year so far and has not decided yet if it's better buying the Tyros 5, the Pa4X or may be the Audya... grin

Ian,
Good suggestion if I could find one the correct size.

Don, I understand. Arrangers are great...but I really miss the organ...and now I can have both! I actually think it will be better than a Yamaha Stagea which is what I was looking for. I plan on my setup being easy to just pull the arranget off and walk away with it. Then just pop it back into the organ anytime. I only play as a hobby at ome, but I might want to take the arranger to someplace (vacation, play with a group of friends, etc).

Victor, OK...and if you find that video, pleas let me know.

An old C-series Electone might be wide enough...the A-series and maybe the B-series may be a bit too narrow, although some of the latter were quite wide.

Here is the Electone museum...many, but not all, of the older series organs are pictured (some with several pictures...click on IMAGES>>> just under the top part and at the right of the main picture) with specs, right up to almost the present, many have the dimensions listed.

http://www.electone.com/museum/

Looking at the history, I actually owned several of those listed, and played almost all of them. I like visting this site once in awhile.

I hope this helps a bit.

Probably the most likely ones to find and use would be the C-series in the 70's.

Ian
