Gigging keyboard players long for those authentic organ sounds. Think of the haunting opening notes of Procul Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale, Deep Purple's Child in Time, Booker T. & the M.G.'s Green Onions and many, many more. Of course everyone knows that to reproduce those fantastic drawbar organ sounds you need one of those huge (there's no room in the van for that), heavy (will you guys help me with this) and temperamental (it was working last night) organs. Well, that's the past... and this is the future. It's the Yamaha YC61 Stage Piano & Drawbar Organ which recreates those fabulous drawbar organ sounds in a compact, lightweight and dependable gigging keyboard. This is what keyboard players have been looking for, including full, tactile drawbars to faithfully create every nuance of your sound.
With so many features and fantastic drawbar organ sounds the best way to show you the full potential of the Yamaha YC61 is to let you hear it in action with the highly acclaimed and accomplished Mike Patrick (The Streets, Jake Bugg, JP Cooper). You are gonna love this....
