thrift store garbage

Post by kingnimrod » Sun Dec 12, 2004 4:05 pm

Today I found this piece of crap electric organ that sounds pretty fun at a goodwill store.

It's an "emenee audion" in an unappetizing tan/brown color scheme. Basically looks and sounds like a humidifier with keys until you start playing it - nice little organ sound. It sounds/feels like it's pushing air to make the sounds.

I don't know if this is a toy or what - I'm assuming so. Search on the internet doesn't yield much.

Anyone know anything about it???

we get these in where I work quite often. They kind of sound like a harmonica/accordian or something more than an organ - but they are infact meant to be an organ as far I can can tell. Some of them even have the chord buttons on them. Unfortunately there is a lot of wind noise coming out of these, so there is not a whole lot to do with them - unless you need a good wind sound that is.

They are fun to play around with. Mine is one with the chord buttons, and the noise just adds to the fun!

Yes! Those dumbass buttons.

I some times break mine out after listening to the Marble Index or something. And try and play Janitor of Lunacy. I just end up sounding like Ivor Cutler. Which kind of rules.
