OT: I've posted some pictures of my organ here!

Organs and horns

Badata, I have to admit that I was distracted by the shorts also

Selectomatic, the Majesty does not have a full pedal board but it does have larger pedals (can't see them in the pic) than on a small spinet organ. There are 2 octaves of pedals and they can be split in two meaning the lower octave plays as regular bass pedals and the upper octave can have special sounds effects assigned to them.

small organ, big leslie

And they said it couldn't be done~

I was able to route my Hammond S6 chord organ, which is the smallest Hammond, through the Leslie Tallboy model 31H speaker, which is the largest Leslie. By flipping another switch, I can also route one channel of my stereo through it in order to reproduce organ recordings with amazing, lifelike fidelity and presence.

This is a really fun thread. I'm sure quite a number of us here enjoy fingering our organs.

Seated one day at the Organ,

Bob

Not an organ

But you CAN squeeze it.

Selectomatic,

Are you the same Selectomatic on the Yahoo Seeburg Information Club?

If so, can we see your jukeboxes? Pretty please with sugar on top?

 

[selectomatic]

Jukeboxes would be even farther off-topic.

But Seeburg did buy an organ manufacturer during the 1960s, so it's tangentially related, I guess.

I'd think you'd have seen them already, jasonl, but here goes.

I don't have a decent picture of the other one right now. The Hammond RT-3 lives just off to the right of this picture.

I'm known in the Yahoo group Seeburg Jukebox Information Club as mheb7283. Besides jukeboxes,I'm also into theatre projection equipment,elevators & other than organs native american flutes, but I would want to design & build a native american flute organ using flutes of the kind I mentioned in place of the pipes.

babies!!!!

beautiful babies Selectomatic!!! what are the names?? (the dogs...not the jukeboxes!! LOL)

 

[jasonl]

If it makes music

We're a very musical crowd here. If it's not phonographs, it's jukeboxes, organs, flutes, accordions, etc.

Any guitar people here?

Drums?

 

[selectomatic]

Dogs, etc.

That's Micha on the left, and Ivan on the right. It was hard to get them to pose for the picture because they wanted to come over and get scritched. That's why they're looking distracted and ready to pounce.

Actually, I have no musical skill at all. I just collect and fix things. My roommate is a fairly versatile musician, and in addition to spending much of his working life as a motion picture projectionist, he's also done quite a bit of piano and organ accompaniment for silent films.

If I'm going to play music on anything, it'll be a jukebox or a stereo.

RickR has some beautiful jukeboxes. I'm sure he'll chime in shortly.

Jason, I am learning to play guitar, I have played bass guitar in the past but never for a band. I gave it to my niece. Pictures soon coming.

Badata, I played alto saxophone too in college stage band, but that instrument went to the nieces too. Is the other one a tenor? I guess you played in high school band so what instrument did you play then? Oh, and here is a video I think you will enjoy, after all, it looks like you like to swim too!

 

[frontaloadotmy]

more organs please

i want to see a conn or two

 

[neptunebob]

Thanks for adding a post, I thought I would have to bump this up myself. Anybody see the "Voodoo Chill" video I linked? Maybe Badata could do one like it in the pool at the Y!

 

[hoover1060]

Maybe Badata could do one like it in the pool at the Y!

which link?? i'm not sure of what you are speaking of?

 

[frontaloadotmy]

Agnes (Gooch?)

It's the only link in this thread, post 213883

 

[neptunebob]

Hoover, click on my link and there is a video with a musician playing a woodwind in a lake. Now, maybe we can get Badata to play one of his instruments in the deep end of the Y, wearing his red shorts.

As a straight guy, I can't believe I'm about to post a picture of my organ on a site like this! lol!

This organ was made about 200 yards from where I am sitting.

 

[bundtboy]

cast iron stool base

NICE pump organ, Runematic, but what I like even more is the stool. Does that have a cast iron base? Those are RARE and possibly as valuable or more valuable than the pump organ it sits in front of, if so. They're MUCH more stable and durable than the wooden ones of the period, and I think it may be possibly 120 years old or so, whereas the organ is probably 100. Do you know for sure?

Anyway, it sure is a beauty. I'm not ashamed to look at a straight guys organ and tell him it's good looking, and thank him for sharing.

bundtboy, the legs are cast iron & the center stem is wood. The organ has a date of the late 1800's inside of it , but I really would have to look to get it accurate. It's been awhile since I've had my organ out and played with it. I'm always happy when someone compliments my organ.
