1960's Vox Continental Baroque model V305 vintage combo organ in very good + condition, serviced and in great working order. The Baroque has an extremely versatile set of features, with a traditional Continental lower manual augmented by a separate bass section, and an upper manual that is wholly unique among the Vox organ family, with sounds such as Harpsichord, Cimbalom, Lute, Celeste, and Carousel. This particular Baroque has been fully serviced and recapped as necessary, with all keys and features functioning exactly as intended. Complete with its original chrome legs, suitcase lid, and non-original expression pedal. A beautiful and rare organ for the studio or stage. Six drawbars that govern the main signal path on the lower manual, with 8, 4, 2, and IV footings, plus "flute" and "reed" drawbars that essentially control the general bass and treble EQ response of the organ. An 18 note bass section is also included on the lower manual, which can be disabled to extend the standard Continental organ sound to the bottom of the keyboard. The upper manual is where the real magic of the Baroque model lies, with quite convincing and rich analog sounds that truly do evoke the instruments noted on the tabs. The Harpsichord is thin and reedy, the Lute is smooth and airy, and the Carousel is perhaps the most spacey and lush of the bunch, with a repeating signal that has its own delay repeats and rich overtones. These sounds are all balanced and clear, with independent Volume and Tone knobs to blend the upper manual signal with the traditional combo organ tones available on the lower manual. A hidden drop down knee lever is also included and can be used for either volume or pitch variation. Cosmetically, this Continental is quite clean, with some corner wear and some oxidation of metal, but on the whole it presents beautifully and, we think, with just the right amount of vintage character. The chrome legs retain great shine, the plastic handles on the sides are clean and in tact. Very few Baroques were ever made, largely due to the fact that this keyboard cost nearly three times as much as a single manual Continental! Very pleased to offer such an exceptional vintage organ for your consideration.
