Gulbransen Theater Organ w/ Leslie 102 Speakers

I remember checking out an organ very similar to this one in the Salvation Army on Valencia several years ago. Playing a theatre organ through a Leslie pair is INCREDIBLE. I think I played for over an hour. Unfortunately, it was SO big that it was an immediate no-way decision.

Seeing this organ here on craigslist brings me back. I even forgive them for charging $600. Cause this is theatre quality. And it belonged to the mother-in-law. Makes perfect sense.

I love the flowers on the speaker cabinet.

Unfortunately, I just can’t do it. I’ll just hang out at the West Oakland space playing the newly transplanted Kimball pump organ. One day, though, I’m gonna do it… I'll take my retirement money and open a pizza parlor. Get a toupee, an organ lift, the whole nine yards.
