Elka, Eko, Elgam, Farfisa, Crumar, Jen, Siel, Solton, CRB, Bontempi, Antonelli,
etc. were born.
DESCRIPTION:
This is a cool harmonium organ in its
cream finish suitcase
. Turn it on and a fan starts pumping a cool breeze across your fingers and you’re ready to go
. It has a great sound – effectively it’s a harmonium without the bellows, or a horizonal accordion
. The air gets pumped over metal reeds which results in a rich sound!
It's probably a
Busilacchio Mk II
chord organ as
the chord plate is in gold finish
and the
buttons are square
.
In short, this organ is a lot of fun. It has a
wonderful melancholy sound
which evokes such musical
greats as
Daniel Johnston, Ivor Cutler and Beirut!
This is your chance to get your hands on a super rare portable organ!
