electronic organs
Electric church instruments
Electronic organs are keyboard instruments that produce sound through electronic circuits rather than pipes or reeds.
They range from small home models to elaborate church installations designed to imitate pipe organs.
The Hammond organ, with its distinctive rotating tone wheels, became central to jazz, gospel, and rock: The organist held down a chord and let it swell.
Most electronic organs have multiple keyboards (manuals) and foot pedals for bass notes.
