Every day he strays farther and farther from sanity, the keyboards consume him, one day he will become the keyboard
And every video you say a similar comment!
best comment! I love it when he lets loose and plays to gives the instrument life😊
I know, he sounds like Bill Hichcock
truly, you are now the Bob Ross of organ demos.
I was going to say Matt Berry 🙃
@t.bolles9079 I've been thinking the same thing. I'm just waiting for him to turn on an organ and say "Hell's horses!"
"happy accidents!"
Oh my gosh, the funeral setting at position 16:40 ...
You can't appear at a funeral with an organ that colourful and named "Genie" - which comes with a button called "Harmony Magic". Just imagine a little girl in front of the organ, asking with hope in her tear-dimmed eyes: "Can Genie bring back nanna with her magic?" Some things simply are too cruel to imagine. Almost ;-)!
What a great little organ from the 70s, packed with features. You really can do professional stuff with despite the fancy colours. For 40 pound I've never heard anything better. As always, thank you for showing and all the best :-)!
I may install a ‘More Nanna’ slider, which will increase the smell of stale biscuits.
The sounds an effects were so hard fought for, I can imagine the discussion between the designers vs bean counters, “You need how many pcbs, transistors, capacitors, etc. and yet someone thought it was worth bringing these keyboards to market. Thank goodness they did, thank you for bringing them to our attention.
The Magic Genie has an Intel 48 processor and very little PCBs. It is one of the first digital keyboard organs!
I didn’t know that, although I presume the voices are still generated by analogue circuits?
Such a nerve jangling array of sounds... I must find one!
Ms Revolta's opening sequence to the presentation above is a stunning example of truly revolutionary personal third party perspective.
She is clearly someone to watch out for - a staggering talent.
I cant wait to see what happens next.
Very cool
Oooh I love the off-limits areas of charity shops. My favourite accordion, a beautiful 1930s Frontalini, was £50 from under the stairs at the Nomad Trust, and my under-reconstruction portable reed organ was £25 from the display shelf of a St Barnabas shop - after I had emailed _very_ politely and asked if they would consider selling it. I still try and sneak a look into the back room of any charity shop I visit, just in case!
In my dreams I try to visit an ever growing charity shop that I can never quite reach… or find. I went there once and almost bought an enormous organ made of black painted wrought iron (in a dream)
@@VintageKeysStudiothe Genies are haunting you.
Delightful nightlight.
Just got one this morning for 100 euros. I'm really amazed how many sound experiments i will try with these wonderfull little toy.
Enjoy!
This is exciting.
Very cool. Repeat with sustain turned on sounded like kind of like a delay effect with feedback turned up. Neat timbres from the left hand side too. Definitely covers harmonium type-sounds.
Friend dropped one of these off to me broken and I can’t wait to get it running
I got it running lol
So cool your Lowrey ! ❤
Absolutely wonderful, and the magic aspect of the Genie bass does make me want to get up and "cut a rug." I was always super or supremo--envious of anyone who could actually find one of those supremo-rare Genie accessories, the acousti-thon, which the player wears upon their bean like head. The idea, I think, was to absorb musical energy back into the player's conscious id, and also to eliminate that embarrassingly doggone nutty echo that occurs so often when one sits on the organ bench. If I am not horrifically mistaken, I think that the acousti-thon may also have had theremin capabilities (although that was the acousti-thon-XL). Wearers of the acousti-thon would grasp their wig-like apparatus to unleash a cavalcade of inspiring and witty tunes.
I wish I could find an Acousti-thon. Even better would be the pro XL Gold version, the Acousti-thong, which reduced the wig wearing drudgery by installing the device into a tiny pair of musical panties.
@@VintageKeysStudio wireless technology continues to advance!
I still think Klingons are going to attack when I hear your intro music :)
Holy hairdo! That Genie is dreamy.
Very remiscent of my old Lowrey Teenie Genie, the big difference being that this one works! (ha)
The unannounced afro wig is essential to the sound of this instrument.
I've got the majic genie.
Love the afro, haha. 12:54 sounds like the intro to Paul Simon's Boy in the Bubble.
Interesting beast. Don't remember seeing on3 before.
Piano sounds interesting
A jar of boiled sweets with limited groovyness..... But may I add... Kinda cool.. Something that The Damned may have utilised back in the day ... Great stuff as per usual..
Ahh I did a gig on the same bill as Captain sensible once - I should have asked him!
I have an L15 console Magic Genie
It sounds so lovely, you grew an afro! Of sorts!
Just watched “Summer of Soul” perhaps. Stevie kicked butt on that model c!
I do enjoy our films and vintage keyboard demo’s. Back in the mid 60’s l wanted a WEM Telstar organ ( as used by the Fortunes etc. ) for use in my band, ( up-grading from an amplified harmonium! ) ln the end l bought a s/h Vox Continental which was a good choice before the later Hammond chapters. If you ever find one of these it would be great to see/hear how they compare to the Continental please. A grey show. Thank you.
Ok if we can source something we will do it! :)
The "NC" button lol how do you spell that haha.
That turns off the bass chords.
I'm a drummer but I own one of these. I got it for $1 at a yard sale about 20 years ago. Still works great except two of the keys cut in and out periodically.
i wish there was a vst of the rhythm section
Lol j'ai eu un Lowrey quand j'étais enfant
Nice, but i have a question: When can we see your Harmonium RF Stevens (1952) in action?
Stay tuned… it is on its way :)
Wonderful 🎵 pieces you should track them
Great demo & excellent organ sounds. You could park a pair of slippers on that piano.
I would love to!
Hi friend! José from Argentina..
Can this organ play Hammond sounds and lucy in the sky on Diamond similar sound? Thanks
Nothing like those sounds I’m afraid
dude… your HAIR!!! (instant subscriber for the wig-change) SPOILERS
Did you change your har?
Yes - it was a slight accident due to mishearing in a barber’s
I'm trying to find the fuse box on my lowrey. Can you help me?
I have never opened this one up - first check the fuse in the mains plug. If that’s ok, there is likely going to be one or more glass fuses inside, and these will be located near the power transformer where the mains lead feeds into. Be careful - make sure it’s all unplugged if you take the cover off
Are you David Mitchell's brother?
No, Warren Mitchell’s
Nice but it's no Contillon D575
And it didn't cost $15,000 either.
😄
Do you realize how much money on commission you would have made demonstrating this at an organ shoppe in 1980? You would have been the top salesman in your region....
Haha brilliant
I wandered lonely as a cloud
Up hill and under heath.
And all at once I came across
the rotten swine who pinched my teeth.
I said “you CAD I’m off my food! What I like has to be chewed.
Like crusty bread and bacon rashers”.
He said “bog off” and kept mi gnashers.
I rather enjoyed my Bone Idle Lowery. It refuses to work.
