Yamaha Electone FE30 double keyboard organ

Electone is a musical instrument created by yamaha. It is the most popular electronic organ. It has the distinction of being composed of two keyboards and pedals. It is therefore an instrument requiring synchronized use of hands and feet. The variety of types of playable music, accompaniments and sound quality make it a high-quality, multi-use instrument.

Release date: 1984. Use. Yes the configuration is simple, it is an organ, with few but clear sounds: listen to the piano sound ! For the edition, some presets, the controls are clear, precise and accessible, in short, this organ is really a musical instrument made for connoisseurs. We are far from the electronic synths these days. One click and hop we get the rhythm, another the sound, and let's go! Sounds. As long as one remains in an organ register, no worries, clean sounds, slamming, and attractive. A downside for the sound of the saxophone (coppers are less well rendered) The few effects are enough for the jazzy-blues register, for the rest buy a synth. The expression pedal at the knee allows the sound to vary, but it takes a period of adaptation. Global review. Bought new in 1985, it was worth 20, 000 frs or 3000 euros. The most: organ sounds, well in its register. Less: I don't have any, except volume and weight.
