Jerry Styner And Larry Brown, “Dock of the Bay” from Orbit III (1971 Beverly Hills). This was the common performance practice for such artists on the electrified theatre organ in the 1950s.Ħ. All played without a program or sequencer. On the keyboard he had access to such voices as the snare drum, brush cymbal, tambourine, castanets, Chinese block, tom tom, sand block, and various mallet instruments. You can detect the ever-so slightly missed timings here and there and the variety of sounds he could conjure from such pedals as bass, kettle, and field drums, cymbals, brush cymbals and trap drums.
Using a combination of pedals and keys, he was able to manually create percussion sounds as he played the accompanying chords and melodies, which was the way it was done prior to a drum machine. The record is by George Wright and it’s played on a 5-manual Wurlitzer theater organ. Here is an example from 1958, the heyday of the electronic theater organ. It was all done by playing the sounds manually on the keys and pedals, not a small feat and certainly one that required a special acumen playing many parts at once. Located in Huntington Beach CA.Before we begin with the drum machines, I thought it would be informative to listen to an example of how organists had previously been accompanying themselves with percussion effects. Garage so it would be very easy to move out, but it does weigh 400 lbs, so it would be best if you have a truck with lift gate, or low trailer with ramp. This was the top of the line back in the '70s (over $3K) and has a rotating Leslie speaker, Orbit III synthesizer and bass pedals.
Keys are in great shape and it plays well. I gave it to my next door neighbor a year ago for his kids to learn on, but they lost interest, so we just want to move it on to someone who can enjoy it. Cabinet has some typical wear from use, but for someone who's seeking an instrument If you live nearby, probably only $100 to move it. If youĭon't have a means to pick it up, I know a piano mover that is very reasonable. Turns on, everything works and sounds great to me, but a pianist who played it said it could use some tuning. Some tune up, and is offered for $1 if you just come and pick it up.
Wurlitzer Centura Professional organ in working condition, could use So if any watchers are nearby and want this cool organ for free, speak now or forever hold your peace. EDIT: Because several local folks have expressed great interest, but couldn't manage to find a way to move the organ, I've scheduled it to be picked up by Salvation Army on Tuesday 11-20.
