This is a really fun organ I found at Gregg's Music Center in Newcastle, California. It has cool features, awesome lights, and the best bench in the music industry! I hope you enjoy.
It does look like the cockpit of some alien vessel. I wonder if that was what they were thinking of when they made the control panel for the alien ship in Alien Prometheus.
Lowrey has been around for many years. My mother owned one which she just loved many, many years ago. To say the least, Lowrey has come a long way since. These organs are so feature-filled, it will take you years to enjoy all of their tricks. If you are just a hobbyist organist, these should receive your serious consideration. I remember as a little one, playing my mother's and just enjoying the sounds and like. These console type organs are not portable but if you want to entertain yourself and your family, you can never go wrong with one of these.
I remember when larger shopping malls all had an organ store with a salesperson playing their top model to attract buyers. I NEVER heard of anyone every buying one.
Got my first Lowrey organ three months ago because of this video. It was a Rhapsody. Just picked up a Lowrey Palladium today for $600. My wife and I are over the moon. James is Right used instruments I like adopting unwanted pets you can get them for almost nothing and you can have an incredible amount of Joy from them
I've always wanted a Lowrey like this, but never had the room or the money. What really sold me are the Lowrey "Just For You" pre-programmed arrangements. All the fun of karaoke, but you're playing as much of it as you care to yourself.
Looks like a spaceship.. I always loved the lowrey organ kind of look when I was a kid and I wanted to buy a keyboard. I imagine this kind of look is a magnet for kids and adults as well :)
That organ has an array of preset combinations of registrations for both manuals(keyboards) and the pedals to enable the performer to change the sounds rapidly while playing a piece. There are 10 general presets + the default when the power comes on, called preset #0. Then, there are 6 different styles to use on the presets to deliver a whole new set of preset registrations for the "general" presets. Styles include, Big Band, Country, Theater, etc, The rhythm accompaniments are a great deal more variable than your waltz example showd, and there are over 24 different style of rhythms. I own a Lowrey Majesty and an Imperial myself, and enjed seeing what you were able to discover all by yourself.
Call me stoopid, but because of this video I now know the difference between portamento and glissando. Thank you piano dude, it's always been a bit fuzzy.
I've replaced the touch-sensitive membranes on dozens (might be hundreds by now, I've lost count) of touchscreens. No clue what the end users are doing to them, but it doesn't take long for them to get all scratched up, cut up, holes worn in them, glass broken, etc...
My late father kept his jacket on at many occasions. Funny you reminded me of him. An organ that expensive having the names written with every key made me wonder who it was targeted at. I heard someone in the field say it was retired people taking up a hobby. It looks very impressive with all the lights. One is waiting to hit the jackpot. 😚
tpmm1 I think that’s a fair assessment. Lowry organs were known for their ‘Easy Play’ features for getting an impressive result without much playing technique, as James demonstrates at the end. They weren’t very popular in recent times, and in the last year or so ceased production.
my lowrey organ is the legend it is very simular to this one. also i am still waiting to get back to our music class lessons.the corona virus. caused usto not be able to return yet.
The organ at the start looks like what I imagine the control panel in Santa's slay would look like, even the chair it reminds me of Santa Clause the movie the one with Dudley Moore in as an elf, all the elves beds had a pull over cover made of wood like the cover of that organ.
These kinds of organs were not intended to be sold to serious musicians, but rather to people who wanted to make music, but be more involved than just playing a phonograph and then sitting on the couch listening. In a way you get a bit of the thrill of conducting, without having to either understand music theory nor have great skill playing an instrument.
Nice find James. There was a dealership back home that had Lowrey Organs all down once side of the store and Baldwin and Kimball Pianos down the other side. . With a center aisle diving the two sections. The lowreys always looked so complete. Some of them were quite large too. and some with external speaker cabinets . Nice find though. They do have a big warm sound
It would be nice if they had some kind of snap-on veneer or something that would cover the note letters. It's a cool feature but it makes the organ look even more busy with them there.
It's like something out of Buck Rogers. I love Lowrey Organs. I used to lurk around the Lowrey store in my local mall. The sound of these has always been so unique! Thanks for the demo.
Looks very similar to my Lowrey Royal, the. Virtuoso is actually an arpeggiator, play a chord on the lower keyboard and slide your finger across the Virtuoso and it will arpeggiate the upper notes. You should had used the intro and ending it sounds great.
I'l never see the real organ in real life. But in Latvia we have some churches there you can listen some beautifull sounds of the Organ. And we also already have some churches with the Organ. But that musical instrument it's so large and big. With the tubes.
I actually learned to play on an older Lowrey Holiday. I loved the sweet, mellow tone of the Lowreys of that era. Like many other organ builders, Lowrey succumbed to the "easy play", single-finger-chord style. People weren't interested in learning the classical way of playing: they wanted it easy, they wanted it NOW! So Lowrey, along the other builders, began to build the "auto-chord" organs, and other "trick" doo-dads than made it seem like organists were really hot. Lowrey began to cater to the geriatric set with classes and "assembly-line" teaching. Along the way, the sound quality began to suffer. To compensate for this, Lowrey added lots of beautiful lights and switches that lit up like a carnival. Players like me that had learned under the old teachers and candle light supperclub performers were put off by all the lights and bells. Heck, ya couldn't even FIND how to get the sound you wanted from these for all the lights and switches hidden away! I now own two Hammonds, one tone wheel, one electronic. Fortunately Lowrey has found its way again with the introduction of other, exciting offerings such as the compact Fanfare. Unfortunately, while a beautiful instrument, the Palladium is not one I would choose for my own. Just my own opinion.
@@JerryNSretired I'd add that western organ manufacturers failed to follow Yamaha's steps to keep alive the electronic organ market. Yamaha supports music schools in every country, and Electone organ buyers not only get an instrument with amazing sound quality; they also receive a very well organized music education, knowledgeable tech support, and the allure to see the best organ players in their annual music festival. As a result, kids who learned their craft in a Yamaha organ end up buying the higher-end models once they can afford it, and even casual Electone players have amazing dexterity with or without the automatic accompaniment.
This model should probably be sold to Adam “Owl City” Young. “Fireflies”, baby! I might be mistaken, but the genius and rhythm plus features harken back to the late 70s and early 80s, when the Lowrey R&D folks were incorporating those features into their older designs. They’re referred to in one of my books about electronic musical instruments. What would be extra excellent is if the lights could be activated by the music you play. Not just on and off but triggered by the music itself. Love the features, not fond of the traditional-style cabinetry. As much as I have grown to appreciate the theater organ over the last 20 years, the bulkiness was never that appealing.
hi james the lowrey pladium. and others . the touch bar works on both sides. also you can use the volume pedal .by moveing your foot to the right. for fill in. and to the left to get a different sound. like a steel guitar. or country sound.
Definitely has a Star Trek look about it - I love the idea of a snack drawer in the seat as well. Maybe there should be a cup holder on each side of the keyboard as well, and an ashtray?
Up until you opened the cover and there in front of you are LED lighting and touch screen I would have sworn this was a 1930s art deco looking instrument. The sound is incredible, you could spend hours exploring it , but I'm not sure about the letters denoting the keys, i would expect to find this on a botempi or Fisher price keyboard for beginners, whereas this would be aimed at the upper market musician.......there again, what do I know?
I am glad you enjoyed the video. I hope to do a series on classical church music, maybe even some contemporary music if is well received. Let me know if you think that might be something you would enjoy.
Quite interesting. From somebody who _needs_ the letters pasted on the keys.... When I first decided I wanted an electronic organ, they were upwards of $10,000. Somehow Casio got the price down to about $400. That's when I bought one. All plastic, and seriously crap, but better than nothing. The guy at the store _really_ knew how to play it better than I could, too.... Anyway, about 30 years ago, give or take, a buddy of mine went to the Mall looking for a cassette recorder that worked with his organ. He ended up buying a new organ with a cassette recorder built-in. His wife was impressed. IAC, she let him live.... Downside was that it was mostly TTL logic inside, and the dumb things would pop with some regularity. Naturally, the manufacturer was not putting the manufacturer's numbers on the parts. He was able to sort that out, and keep it running for a very long time. Good quality, real wood, etc. Can't recall the brand name, and he's long since deceased.
Unbelievable it's a good thing the damn thing doesn't have wings to fly away looks like the inside of an airplane , absolutely beautiful fantastic sound unbelievable sell them for a living pal you can make a ton of money how much is it quarter of a million dollars??? Good job good upload
Always a happy moment when I get to watch one of your videos - thank you for them :) I have 2 questions. 1. I am not much of a player but the lights fascinate me (I know, very immature lol). Will this organ play like a player piano from a SD card or a CD? 2. Question 2 is off topic but I don't know where else to ask it. There is a very popular Christian song on KLOVE (a Christian radio station) called "No Matter What" by Ryan Stevenson. I am almost sure that sound thru the song is an organ sound? That sound is almost a hook all by itself. Every time I hear that song I think of you because it would be the type of thing you would do to spice up a song lol. And if I get a bonus question - who is your camera person? Needs a better camera like an M50 on a Gimbal. That is my niche on my TH-cam channel, so if you need or want to baseball camera selections and lens choices I would be glad to help.
As for your question about the organ, I know of no better person to contact about that than the owner of the shop, and the info for that is in the description. He has been in the organ business for as long as I can remember, and is very knowledgeable about those things. As for the camera with a gimbal, they have advantages and disadvantages. I like them a lot, and maybe someday I will get one. But at the moment, any new camera/video equipment would come out of my studio funds, which I prioritize. The camera I have is admittedly not the best camera (Canon Rebel T5i), but it works well enough for my style of videos. The thing I dislike about gimbals is that sometimes movements can be unnatural, like when you command it to look up or down. Gimbals are great for smooth cinematic shots, but not quite what I'm looking for in my videos at the moment. My videos are never scripted, they are done in one take, and are quite spontaneous. I often discover things about the instruments in the middle of the videos! Soon, the account will be monetized, so I can continue with purchasing studio equipment.
This organ is too much for me haha I need a traditional theater organ console, one that doesn't have so many sections and features. My favorite electric theater organ is the Conn 651, I haven't played one yet, but I've been offered the one that stood in place of the Wurlitzer at the State Theatre in Oroville. I can't pass this up.
when this organ was new they had it in my class room. at evola music here in Michigan. I have played it many times. now I am trying to findit or any newe one. to purchase. since they sold all of the organs.
Richard, The Lowrey Organ Company is not totally dead. Dave Brown and Lisa Perez of Critchetts Lowrey Organ centers purchased the remaining Lowrey organs back from the Parent Company and along with Bil Curry and Dennis Awe have basically given Lowrey organs a new lease on life, They have developed new organs combining all the new technology. The newest one is named the Lowrey Symphony Showcase. In fact, Chuck Wright is going to be here on Friday to do a concert and workshop on some of the new Organs being designed.. Dave and Lisa also purchased the rights to the Lowrey Magic Music Program. Critchett's Lowrey Organ Centers is in the process of opening a new location in St. Paul. PS: I just purchased a brand new in the box EZ-10 plus a few months ago. This is My fourth Lowrey organ. Good Luck
Yamaha Electone organs also have a better sound, at least in my opinion. They have a brighter sound, which is also more alive, while Lowrey organs sound a bit stale.
Are the giant toggles that seem to appear on all electric organs some kind of obligatory feature, homage to pipe organs, or do they offer some utility that makes them persist? I only ask because I don't ever remember seeing them on a synthesizer/keyboard or digital piano..
I love the anachronistic aesthetic! It's all Victorian writing desk on the outside, NASA mission control on the inside.
The Millennium Falcon had less buttons and still made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs!
It does look like the cockpit of some alien vessel. I wonder if that was what they were thinking of when they made the control panel for the alien ship in Alien Prometheus.
Sir, I have stopped wearing socks when I watch your videos because your expertise just knocks them off! Thank You!

I LOVE that bench! And I love that organ...and I'm not even a musician!
Super cool! Light show rocks.
Beautiful instruments man I wish I could play thanks for your videos
Beautiful!!!
Call me stoopid, but because of this video I now know the difference between portamento and glissando. Thank you piano dude, it's always been a bit fuzzy.
I adore these organs. They are my favorites.
This must be the baddest organ I have listened on!
I've replaced the touch-sensitive membranes on dozens (might be hundreds by now, I've lost count) of touchscreens. No clue what the end users are doing to them, but it doesn't take long for them to get all scratched up, cut up, holes worn in them, glass broken, etc...
What an amazing organ!
We thought so too!
Very interesting organ. Cool features.
Excellent demo, I've gotten everything I needed to know from this, well done
My late father kept his jacket on at many occasions. Funny you reminded me of him.
An organ that expensive having the names written with every key made me wonder who it was targeted at. I heard someone in the field say it was retired people taking up a hobby.
It looks very impressive with all the lights. One is waiting to hit the jackpot. 😚

Sir, I enjoy all your videos!
That back rest is incredible. I’m gonna quit my job and start making benches with back rests.
It was really nice.
I'm kind of addicted to your videos right now! Thank you.
Glad you're enjoying the content! :D
Great demo!
Thanks Keep up the Good Work!
It's fun!
I need a house big enough to accommodate it. Very cool!
my lowrey organ is the legend it is very simular to this one. also i am still waiting to get back to our music class lessons.the corona virus. caused usto not be able to return yet.
Greeting from Prague (CZE)... Really amazing instrument :-)
Knight Rider of an organ
Looks like some one mounted a juke box into a roll top desk. Very cool
looks like a Ufo Cockpit. now i know how they traveling lightyears... frequenzy ;)
The organ at the start looks like what I imagine the control panel in Santa's slay would look like, even the chair it reminds me of Santa Clause the movie the one with Dudley Moore in as an elf, all the elves beds had a pull over cover made of wood like the cover of that organ.
Thanks for showing me how the actual organ part works
It looks like the cockpit of a space shuttle :-)
@BVale Were the organs based on the modern electronic aircraft instrument panels , or were the instrument panels based on the organs?
and cost as much
I agree😂
Looks like the Cockpit of K.I.T.T. 😂
... and makes the organ looks more complicated to operate than the space shuttle itself
These kinds of organs were not intended to be sold to serious musicians, but rather to people who wanted to make music, but be more involved than just playing a phonograph and then sitting on the couch listening.

Круто... Я чуть не кончил, когда ты поднял крышку! :)
Благодарю за обзор.
Would be neat to review Yamaha's Electone organ. They only sell in Japan.
The frist organ I ever owned was Lowery now got a Hammond
It would be nice if they had some kind of snap-on veneer or something that would cover the note letters. It's a cool feature but it makes the organ look even more busy with them there.
portamento .. or "Glide" , move your foot to the left in the expression pedal, Lowrey calls that the "Glide Pedal".
Love your videos! Good work.
Thomas Allen I had a Lowrey Jamboree, and I worked that glide pedal to death with the steel guitar/Hawaiian guitar sound. 😎
I can see from there that this cockpit is an IFR-certified !
Very good 'tour' indeed.
SUPER. THANK YOU.
I really want to own one but i know nothing about playing it. It's awesome piece of art.
Bach once said these play themselves, do it, it'll be good fun
Millennium Falcon.... Nice review !!
I would expect my local arena to have one of these and someone sitting behind it playing Lady Of Spain during the game
Wow, a Star Trek organ! ;)
It's like something out of Buck Rogers. I love Lowrey Organs. I used to lurk around the Lowrey store in my local mall. The sound of these has always been so unique! Thanks for the demo.
Warp 7 Mr. Sulu.
I want it.

Amazing review. If possible please do a review on böhm emporio.
It looks like a fancy slotmachine to me :)
The flats/sharps pedals are weird looking to me. I am used to an angle that progresses low to high, not high to low. May feel weird to some.
The speakers on the organ is kinda cool
I have listened to many Lowery organs and I am saddened to say for such a beautifully
engineered instrument their sound lacks presence.
I actually learned to play on an older Lowrey Holiday. I loved the sweet, mellow tone of the Lowreys of that era.

Hammond is better.
It's because of the recording equipment, mic placement, etc. Naturally, it's not going to sound like an AEolian-Skinner 113 rank pipe organ!
@@JerryNSretired I'd add that western organ manufacturers failed to follow Yamaha's steps to keep alive the electronic organ market.

Hammond had stopped making tone wheel organs long before this was made, and had switched to analog occillators like everyone elSe
This model should probably be sold to Adam “Owl City” Young. “Fireflies”, baby!
I might be mistaken, but the genius and rhythm plus features harken back to the late 70s and early 80s, when the Lowrey R&D folks were incorporating those features into their older designs. They’re referred to in one of my books about electronic musical instruments.
What would be extra excellent is if the lights could be activated by the music you play. Not just on and off but triggered by the music itself.
Love the features, not fond of the traditional-style cabinetry. As much as I have grown to appreciate the theater organ over the last 20 years, the bulkiness was never that appealing.
hi james the lowrey pladium. and others . the touch bar works on both sides. also you can use the volume pedal .by moveing your foot to the right. for fill in. and to the left to get a different sound. like a steel guitar. or country sound.
Very nice
I need it. I need it now.
There is a portamento feature - it's on the footpedal (to the left)
It’s cool !
Definitely has a Star Trek look about it - I love the idea of a snack drawer in the seat as well. Maybe there should be a cup holder on each side of the keyboard as well, and an ashtray?
Great demonstration, I have a Royale. I saw your video on that, I wish you could go more into depth on the Royale.
If only they sounded as impressive as they looked...
Up until you opened the cover and there in front of you are LED lighting and touch screen I would have sworn this was a 1930s art deco looking instrument. The sound is incredible, you could spend hours exploring it , but I'm not sure about the letters denoting the keys, i would expect to find this on a botempi or Fisher price keyboard for beginners, whereas this would be aimed at the upper market musician.......there again, what do I know?
Shhh it just makes It look 10x unncesesarily fancier : D
I don't need or want all that glitzy,showy stuff! Give me an Allen Classical organ any day of the week!
As an ex pastor I appreciate the church music thank you again
I am glad you enjoyed the video. I hope to do a series on classical church music, maybe even some contemporary music if is well received. Let me know if you think that might be something you would enjoy.

No it does not play like a player piano however you can record your playing onto the built in disk recorder or CD recorder.
Nice, but I always find Lowrey's cabinets look like a casket.
This organ is too much for me haha
I need a traditional theater organ console, one that doesn't have so many sections and features. My favorite electric theater organ is the Conn 651, I haven't played one yet, but I've been offered the one that stood in place of the Wurlitzer at the State Theatre in Oroville. I can't pass this up.
Organ: sinister instrument of death 😌
Mr. Shawcross take us out of spacedock impulse engines only.
neaklaus52 haha

I want one.....
nassau coliseuim has this organ sounds awesome
Heavy hardware!
Some of the LEDs on the second Music desk need replacing.
LEDs? Those were miniature wedge tungsten filament lamps
Danke from Sweden
great
I think it's better if i would have a Yamaha Electone instead which is easier to use while the Lowrey Organ are a bit complicated...
Yamaha Electone organs also have a better sound, at least in my opinion. They have a brighter sound, which is also more alive, while Lowrey organs sound a bit stale.
KOOL KEYS
This video will have million views soon
HOLEE FK...watch out ..there's a button on there for the ejection seat!😲
2:01 I don't know why you thought that either
Basically a Keyboard on steroids...
On a little too much steroids...
I used to sell lowery organs at Fletcher music centers.. these are way overpriced and I felt guilty for selling them to the senior population
Mr. O Negative 6210
Or a Keyboard that visited Chernobyl
I have one. And yes, it is, especially compared to the Yamaha organ I had before this one!
Wesley Willis would have loved that thing.
Are the giant toggles that seem to appear on all electric organs some kind of obligatory feature, homage to pipe organs, or do they offer some utility that makes them persist? I only ask because I don't ever remember seeing them on a synthesizer/keyboard or digital piano..
Sounds like Saturday night at the Working mans club
I worked for Fletchers inAZ.
Excellent organ..
Great detail explanation..
But I love that Superb Bench..
It's Possible to
Use with Piano?
