@ai6yr I would maybe pick that up, but Oragan is a long drive

@MLE_online Yeah, and I hear the Oragan Trail can be quite hazardous...

3 rows of keys. Pedals. All keys work, but only about 1/2 of the stops work. It is good to practice for church. Has decorative pipes on top. The pipes may or may not work We don't use it anymore. We...

Ooh. That would sound amazing on an organ. I chose Hell's Bells for its humor value when played on a "church instrument."

Excuse me, of course I mean oragan.

Co-worker from job in late 90's is a church organist...

I walked into one of her practice sessions - to hear short bits of various Zeppelin songs, among other "not what you would expect" songs.

@JohnJBurnsIII @bruce @ai6yr @ColesStreetPothole @MLE_online You should try this one. Totally works on an organ.

“Over the past couple of years I have written a number of film music transcriptions on and for the organ of the Royal Albert Hall in London.

OMFG a Hammond? I don't know if I could let that go . . . and I don't play. 😆 Do you still get to hear it from time to time?

@ColesStreetPothole @ClimateJenny @JohnJBurnsIII @bruce @MLE_online Hammond M3. Not as desirable as the B3 (which is highly desired for its sound... although people have ingested that into modern digital processors). I have run into three, and only acquired the one (for free... fixed it, but then sold it to someone--they said it was for their band, but it COULD have been more flippers 🤷). There were a rash of them showing up here a few years back. (I also ran into a B3 which I could have snagged for a song, but those are GIGANTIC.... the ones bands take on tour are specially cut down to be portable). Again, good thing I don't own a barn, lol.

If I could snag a B3, it would be for more than just a song, I'd use it for a LOT of songs . . . after I learned how to play. 😂

Yeah, any building I owned would be filled with things and projects.
