In the 70s and 80s, the electronic organ was the musical instrument for ambitious house musicians. With its range between classical, jazz and modern pop music, it covered all desired musical styles. But back then the technical requirements were still relatively low. This meant that popular musical instruments such as the Farfisa or Yamaha organ already had a very good sound , but the sound was not very varied. A circumstance that has changed dramatically today. Nevertheless, in recent years home organs have been pushed into the background in favor of keyboards. Very wrongly, as anyone who listens to a well-played Hammond SK-2 today can confirm.
What is the difference between a keyboard and an electronic organ?
You could say: “A keyboard is a home organ from which the bass pedal and the second manual have been unscrewed.” Because the keyboard was actually created from the electronic organ. It usually has 61 keys and has an automatic accompaniment . The instrument is particularly popular with solo entertainers.
An electronic organ, on the other hand, is much more diverse . In terms of form , it is a keyboard instrument with electronic sound generation. The technology can be very different between the different types. The electronic organ developed from the 1930s. The model was the pipe organ. The keyboard usually consists of 61 keys, more rarely 44 or 88 keys and there are several manuals. One of the first classic home organs was the Yamaha organ, which not only had a good sound with its pedals , two manuals and the sound body made of walnut veneer, but also took a place of honor in middle-class living rooms in the 1970s and 1980s.
Modern electronic organs from Hammond or Clavia
A lot has happened in the area of sound generation and design since the 1970s. The development also benefited electronic organs. The modern sound can hardly be compared with that of earlier instruments. Even without a large resonance box, the Hammond SK1, for example, produces a total of 63 voices and 8 additional voices via the pedal in a perfect sound. The sound worlds range from acoustic piano to expression sound. If that's not enough for you, the Clavia Nord C2D Combo Organ with its two manuals and numerous drawbars offers an even more comprehensive range of sounds. Not only is there plenty of room for jazz, pop or hip-hop, this high-quality musical instrument also offers the sound of a baroque church organ .
