Description
Yamaha introduced YC Series Combo Organs to satisfy the growing interest in portable organs created by the rise of the Beatles and other bands. The YC-10 was the series' debut model. The YC-10 featured 49 keys on a single keyboard, and came in four different colors. The ability to store the organ in a compact suitcase is one of its standout features. The reverse-colored keys can be converted into bass keys through the flip of a switch.

Simple
This is one of the simplest transistor combo organs ever made. No envelopes, maybe one adjustable filter, volume, pitch, vibrato, seven drawbars, a bass manual toggle and a mixing slider. However, it's very portable and sounds big.
