Description
The Lowrey T2 was a two-manual combo organ produced from 1966 to 1967. The organ was sold with a 13-note bass pedal, a matching black and orange bench, and a dedicated amp that housed the organ's power supply.
Only 970 units were produced during the organ's short production run. In 1967, Lowrey began producing the Gibson G-201, which was nearly identical to the Lowrey T2. Only 489 units of the successor model were built.
