hi everyone;  having played a 330 tab organ in the 70's,it also sounded qite
nice with the leslie on slow.gave the sound sort of a movement quality that
made it kind of pipish for me.i played a 750scarbourough c model for 19
years,but it didn't use a leselie.they had a flute trem.but it didn't have
the slow speed like the 330 did with the leslie,and i think the 330 was a
much better sounding organ.it's still used to this day,but the leslis blew
out on it and has been disconnected.still a good sounding organ.  milt
miller   i was the only one that ever used the leslie on fast.usually just
for one verse on the gospel type hymns.i don't use a leslie constantly.i get
tired of trems quite fast.

stripping the roll top, and that is a royal pain. I think I'm just going to
use sandpaper between the slats, as the stripper is so slow there and it is
painstaking work. Plan to add some extra voices, convert the drawknobs to
moving stop ones (from Syndyne, already purchased) and rework the trems. I
will need to replace the combination action, as the one in the organ is for
lighted drawknobs.

theatre organ. I like this console. As the cooks say, mis en place:
everything is right where it should be on this organ, ready for use.

> As to Leslies on the classical Rodgers analogue organs, Rodgers did this
regularly, calling it "flute tremulant full", until they developed a BBD
trem in the 1980's. For gospel or theatre work, it's fine, and I think a
nicely done leslie adds a pretty good tibia trem. Not that it has any place
in classical work.
