Cool, old Made In Italy ORLA COMBO ORGAN c.1960s? 1970s?
First up, I have to admit that I don’t know the first thing when it comes to these old organs. I do know it’s what is referred to as a ‘Combo Organ’ and was the type of keyboard used by garage bands in the Sixties and into the Seventies. I come across a great video over on YouTube of a guy playing ‘Light My Fire’ by The Doors on one of these ORLA Prestige 61’s and it sounded awesome! It made me want to take up keyboard lessons but I have to accept that, sadly, I appear to have two left hands when it comes to keyboard playing! I have checked all the keys & functions though and, with my limited knowledge, it does appear to be in working order. All keys function & make a sound (including the ‘groovy’ the built-in drum machine!) That said, due to the presumed age of the unit & the fact that the electrics haven’t been professionally tested in any way, I would very much recommend that the new owner gets it properly serviced. As such, even though my very basic end-user tests here are promising, please be aware that I am selling this vintage piece of equipment ‘as is’ seen without warranty nor return.
It also comes with a foot pedal (shown) and a hard top cover (not shown) that turns it into a suitcase …. a VERY heavy suitcase note! (This thing must weigh about 50 kilos!) I believe there would have been tubular legs originally but these have parted company with the organ at some point down through the years. It is shown in the photos supported on a regular keyboard stand (which, plese note, is NOT included in the sale here).
Loads of cool, true vintage sounds to be had from this groovy old organ!
I have set what I feel is a VERY low starting price for a unit such as this. If you’re into retro garage band music and The Doors; Pink Floyd; The Animals; etc. then this might float your musical boat here!
Low, LOW start price, NO reserve – ACT NOW
Please note that, due to the size AND weight of this unit (I do struggle on my own to lift it in its case – it’s do-able but hard work!) I have made this auction COLLECTION IN PERSON ONLY (from Dunfermline, Fife, KY11).
GOOD LUCK!
