drawbars

Tractor hitch bars

Drawbars are sliding rods or levers that control sound on an organ or electric keyboard, particularly the Hammond organ.

Each drawbar adjusts the volume of a specific harmonic, allowing players to blend tones and create distinctive timbres: He pulled out the drawbars for that classic rock organ sound.

In mechanical contexts, a drawbar is a coupling device that connects a tractor to implements or railcars.
