Chronology part 6 - on Bontempi Hit organ


YouTube via organfairy. via synthzoom.
"Chronology part 6 by J.M.Jarre. Most of it was played as a MIDI file using "Noteworthy Composer" for Windows. Bass arpeggio was played on Roland JX8P, strings and choir on Yamaha HE-8 organ, the rest was played on the computer's Yamaha XG soundcard - except the solo. The solo is supposed to be played on an accordeon. But since I don't own an accordeon I used the "green monster" instead. The "Bontempi Hit Organ" was made in the 70's and was actually quite common. It is a simplified accordeon with an electric pump instead of a bellow. However, it's not very good as it lacks the nessesary pressure to play fast. But what could I expect from something I got for 5 dkr. (0.8$) at a jumble sale..."

    I love it! I got a little air organ very similar to the bontempi at a church yard sale once - in fact I seem to recall paying about 4$ for it.
