I am rigid with joy and spurting with happiness...
I just bought a chopped m-series Hammond Organ for £50 and it is truly beautiful.
Considering I already have a moog, can't play keyboards very well, that it doesn't actually work and I have no clue on how to fix it - how can I justify the purchase?
(Other than the fact that tonight I will be playing The Seeds at full volume whilst 'pretend playing'.)

Thanks for that.
Mrs T is still smarting over the 'bloody Theremin' incident so I am on rocky ground.

rofl, "chopped organ"

(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 9:45, Reply)

There is nothing smutty about that.
It means it has bits cut off so it fits tightly into a box.

lol "box"

(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 9:57, Reply)

I can't believe I missed that
I could've said "I know you have a thing for Richard Hammond, but that's no reason to get off his penis"

You still can say that if you wish...

rotary speaker?

What's that mean?

DOES IT HAVE A LESLIE CABINET, DEAR?

No.
Isn't that the bit they chop off when it is 'chopped'?
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 10:42, Reply)

I dunno
But I had a Hammond organ and without the Rotary Speaker it just didn't sound right. I gave it away.
( Peej, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 10:46, Reply)

Is that what gives it the stereotypical 'sound' ...
...eg The Charlatans - Weirdo?
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 10:59, Reply)

indeed

( Peej, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 11:11, Reply)

Sadly I think you may be right.

Tell her that at least you'd rather spend money on tat than other women.

( girlinthehole, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 10:03, Reply)

a hammond organ, broken or not, is not "tat"
no wonder you can't keep hold of a man....
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 10:04, Reply)

Is that where I'm going wrong?

( girlinthehole, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 10:08, Reply)

Insulting the male organ is a bad thing.

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 10:12, Reply)

Fucking brilliant
I'd love a Hammond, or indeed a Rhodes

you appear to have a thing for tv presenters with stupid hair

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 10:17, Reply)

Very, very good indeed

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 10:27, Reply)

Why not.........
Isolate the working bits and set it up to play an MP3 player when you press any key. Make sure the MP3 player is loaded with hammond organ stuff and pretend to your hearts content. It might just surprise someone.
