Vermona ET3 East German Combo Organ Sounds Demo
Просмотров 115Месяц назад
Here is a no talking demo of some sounds from the surpisingly lovely Vermona ET3 made in the DDR East Germany in the 60s or 70s. The long throw sliders are not actually sliders, they move in an arc and feel beautiful to move. I particularly like the vibrato speed and depth!

    Great fun to listen to, the music really dances along with great gusto! My mind is boggling as to how many hours you must have spent on restoring that magnificent instrument... I am taking my very first steps in cleaning and re-waxing on a humble, but lovely, 12 bass Scandalli and have completed the bass side as yet... and it took a weekend of patient work just to get that far! I have yet to dip my toes into tuning. Thanks so much for posting this and your other videos, they are encouraging and instructive too!

    Hi ! I have the same beautiful organ. I find bothering that the upper manual has some kind of sustain even with the sustain levers set to off. The lower manual doesn't have this sustain. When you depress the key on the lower, the sound immediately stops, while on the upper, it sounds more like plastic. My Armon P300 organ had that thing also, so I'm beginning to guess it a desired effect. Any idea if that's tunable ?

  • @rowansumner9088

    The stradella system is such an amazing thing. You can toot along with a band playing basic basses and chords, even when incredibly inebriated. You can plan grand melodic lines using the bass and counter bass row's and imitate the Alexandrov Ensemble. There is so much one can do, as shown here by George, with a little more theoretical knowledge. Its so simple and easy to use, but also so deep and offers so many complex options. Love it. I had no idea there was this much to the left hand when I picked up my accordion a few months ago.

      Yes - the wah (which they call "wow wow") and the pitch shift really make it synthy and lift it out of just being another combo organ! It must have been sensational in 1974!

    Having played for a while, this all makes sense to me and I love explaining how the chords are laid out to other people! What I have learned for your videos though might surprise you - it's that it's ok to use my thumb! When I started I primarily did everything in the base with just three fingers. "Chord Combining" requires longer reaches! It takes practice to map the shapes your fingers make into "preprecorded" movements, but it's so nice that you only have to learn one shape per chord combo!

    I allready have a nice 8 cent in my violin register. I use a trick just like you to increase even more: Push in one of the 8" stops, f.eks the one outside cassotto, and then ever so slightly push the master shift (palm), until the other reeds starts to make a sound. When doing this, my accordion goes all German, and I like that.

Sometimes destroying equally lol . Exactly how from 2yrs onwards i taught myself lots of stuff and still enjoy delving deep from intrigue sensing gut intuition. great video George ive met and know so many interesting people who were in the shed garage outhouse all their young and older life's mending helping and even manufacturing products today keep up the good work 👍
