I've just seen this on The Organ Forum.  A pretty heartrending sight.

Not sure if this one has been picked up on yet.  One bid of £50 not reaching the reserve.  At least the wording of the ad suggests that the vendor is looking for a good home for it.

Electronic Organs / Heyligers
June 23, 2011, 05:51:14 PM
Some time ago, I played a Heyligers analogue organ.  It was a really well built quality instrument with separate amplification channels and speakers for each stop.  The keyboards were wooden (Laukoff) and it had a superb adjustable bench.  The case was designed to resemble a pipe organ with genuine metal diapason pipes hiding the speaker array.  The organ was for sale at a very reasonable price, but there was no way I could have got it into my flat without some major demolition works.

Just wondering, has anyone else ever seen a Heyligers - apparently they also made some much smaller (physically) instruments?  I would still quite like to get hold of one.

Electronic Organs / Eminent organ

I've just been looking at a couple of secondhand organs on the Eminent site.  Has anybody got any experience of them?  One is a 3-manual analogue/digital and the other a 2-manual digital - both for £3000.

Organs wanted / Practice organ wanted
June 13, 2011, 05:16:01 PM
This is probably an impossibility, but I'm looking for that elusive animal, a cheap practice organ.  At the moment, I've got an old analogue Johannus Opus 230.  I rescued it as it was about to be thrown into a skip a couple of years ago, but it's now beginning to  crack up.  The amps are hissing and spitting and several notes only work intermittently.  I've been told that it can't be repaired as parts for the amps are obsolete.

So, I'd like to replace it with something which works and sounds reasonable as I don't have regular access to another organ.  A pipe dream is something like the Walker practice organ, but realistically it'll probably have to be another toaster.  Space is limited as I'm in a first floor flat with difficult and narrow access - the Johannus was a real struggle to move.    It also needs to be cheap as I'm medically retired.

If anyone knows of an organ going, I'd be pleased to hear about it ................ chamber organ less that 86" high?
