"This is the original "made in USA" version, made in 1967. Original lid, music stand, legs, pedal, power cord and accessory case are included... This quote is from the "Combo Organ Heaven" website: 'Baldwin's "made in the USA" answer to the growing combo organ movement. According to some "old Baldwin guys", there were probably only 100 or so of these made. They're very well built, but quite heavy. The BC-1 has been described as having "a very clean, clear, well defined sound" - not at all raspy like the Howard, and with much better Flute sounds...'"
Any band or singer who used this organ
ReplyDeleteDamn, that's my old organ in the picture! I recognize the orange daisy sticker. I bought it in 1968 in Springfield Mass, from a guy who played with Uncle Sam and the War Machine. In about 1978 it quit working a couple days before I was playing at the Troubadour. Replaced it with a Fender Contempo which I didn't like nearly as well. I used the Fender on the early Zoogz Rift shows. Replaced that with a Rhodes run through a Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. Probably TMI, but it's a trip to see my old instrument. Held on to it for many years. Just a great little organ. J Sharkey
