Today this lovely little Audion Consolette Reed Chord Organ was dropped off at the shop. These organs feature a small button section next to the keys that allows the player to easily play a series of minor or major chords, or bass notes with there left hand allowing them to center there focus on playing the melody with there right hand. This button section made these organs a great learning tool for beginner players and children. This particular organ is a reed style chord organ, it works very similar to a standard pipe organ. A blower is attached to a chamber that when turned on is constantly filled with air. When a note is pressed a small opening with a reed overtop of it opens allowing the air to blow across the reed causing it to vibrate and produce a sound. Most chord organs are reed organs however there are exceptions like the Hammond S6 which is a fully electronic tube powered chord organ. This particular chord organ was dropped off because it won’t turn on. As always we will be sure to record the entire repair and restoration process for you guys to see!

One of the more less known vintage amp brands out there, this is a Magnatone M10. These amps were very popular in the late 50s and early 60s as a more budget friendly alternative to fender amps that could be quite pricey. These amps were used by some of the biggest names in rock at the time, including Buddy Holly and Lonnie Mack. This particular Magnatone was brought to us after our customer lost all sound. As always, we’ll be sure to record the entire process of repairing and restoring this amp back to its glory days! 🎸🎶
