Lowrey organ model l 5

I assume that things improved after they were made! How old those models were, I couldn't tell you. Nice creamy flutes and the usual slightly mushy Lowrey strings, but the rest, no. I was not impressed with them in terms of overall tone. I haven't played any of the more recent models but when one of my students was buying his AT900 Platinum, he was with the store guys doing the paperwork, so I wandered around the store playing a few organs, including some Lowreys. I never judge an organ until I've sat down and played it myself, so I don't bother commenting on video clips. I assume that you have heard Lori Graves play it? There aren't that many examples of the Lowrey being played straight.
