Philips Philicordia 2 Manual and full pedals 2 octave UK

A classic oscillator organ from the 1970s made by Philips - something of a Habitat styling too
Owned by a doctor from new, and hardly used
Remarkable condition

That start stop tremolo sound is honestly relevant and useful. This might be a sleeper for modern producers

Hi Bradley. This tremola effect was achieved by wobling the top octave generators at about 7 cycles per second. On some organs the speed could be varied. Then a man by the name of Lesley came along and introduced the Lesley cabinet in its many forms. This changed the sound and versatility of many makes of organ, particularly the tone wheel Hammonds. There is so much information of all of this on the internet it should keep you busy for a while. It all started with organs like the Philacordia and the Bird organs. Happy surfing.

These are really beautiful organs, in the Netherlands you see these very often still. The one octave models you can pick up for under a 100 euros, these two manual ones you can pick up for a bottle of wine XD. Love them

It isn't cheesy it's beautiful.

I have a similar Philicorda (slightly later) two manual and the reverb is excellent. There is a good quality spring reverb inside. I love the sound. I don't find it cheesy, I find it warm and electronic. It perfectly matches the Philips dynamic.

Interesting. I liked the Pedal sound.

Have a fun with relaxing woodened transistor sound.

on of the latest one they produced.

Very nice instrument!

[@johnbrewer9833]

I didn't know philocorder had a 2 manual in their range. The two octave peda board was a suprise as well. Did the tone generator use neon dividers or transistors. The top octave might even have had valves/tubes. Thanks for your posting.

dose it use free reeds?

the first solina organs (eminent) where rip offs of the philicorda
