| Yamaha is well-known for its excellent organs, which are arguably the best ever made. Making use of levers rather than drawbars, a Yamaha organ creates excellent effects and voices in different amounts. An outstanding drumming sound also comes resulting from an excellent vibrato and other features. The first combo organ introduced by Yamaha was A-3 in the year 1966, and it gave rise to the popular YC series. YC-10 was the first Yamaha organ of the YC series introduced in the year 1969, and it had a simple formation of 17 bass and 32 treble keys. In the year 1970, the YC-20 model was launched, which had almost all the features needed in a combo organ.In addition to YC-10, this model offered more drumming, voices and it had a touch vibrato along with a normal one, which caused pitch to the waver up and down by moving keys from side to side. This created a very expressive voice, pleasing to hear. It had 44 treble and 17 bass keys, and the bass section had 16’ and 8’ levers of its own. The next Yamaha organ launched was the YC-30 having its own 4’, 8’ and 16’ flute voices, in addition to a touch vibrato. The next model, YC-25D is a dual manual version of YC-20 with added features. The top keyboard has 49 keys, and lower one has 19 bass and 30 treble keys, and both the lower and upper levers produce same flute like tones. YC-45D, the next Yamaha organ, consists of most features of YC-30 and YC-25D, in addition to Harpsichord, Attack Mute, Marimba, Vibraphone and Bass Tromba. The top keyboard has 61 keys, and lower one has 19 bass and 42 treble keys. Whether you are practicing in your home, or heading towards a live concert, Yamaha organ can be a good choice to increase the depth of your performance and your confidence. | |
