Setup and maintenance

Removing the old sticky sheath from the tone bar improves contact but makes it difficult to secure the bar, necessitating a non-permanent solution to keep it in place.

Philips Philicorda
A great organ that I found at a flea market. Its sort of like a Farfisa but warmer (?).
In the 1960s, the Philicorda was utilized by bands including The Monks.
In recent years, the organ has undergone a revival. Notable users include Nick Power of The Coral and Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake. The Philicorda also features on 19 by Adele.
