So cruising around on ebay one night I stumbled on an old toy organ that looked straight out of a Disney movie like Jumanji or a Tim Burton movie like Edward Scissor Hands. Its hard to say really.
The look of it alone stopped me dead in my feverish mouse clicking. I did a quick search on youtube and found a few clips of the organ in action. Let me link you to what I saw and heard that fateful night:

So already from hearing those two clips, I was completely sold on this little guy. I began my pursuit of the Emenee Golden Pipe shortly after that. Watching intently on the ebay auction.
When it was all said and done, I lucked out as if fate itself had decided this would be my organ. No one else made a bid, so I took the organ for $35 USD all in (shipping and everything included)
Now the organ has arrived and I did my first recording session with it today. It sounds amazing. I highly recommend these little guys to anyone looking for a cool vibey organ, that will give some color to a recording, without wanting to spend a CRAP LOAD of cash.
They also make a very nice addition to your home or studio decor!
I guarantee you will hear this in use on some of my future recordings.
