Organ used during the early years of Los Jaivas. Seen in this footage from 1971 and likely recorded in a couple of tracks from "El Volantín" debut album. Typical YC-30 sounds can be heard in the track 'Cacho', and 'Último Día'. In the latter, the YC-30 portamento strip was also recorded at the beginning of the track. Usage of "organ" (no further detail) is also addressed in the following "La Ventana" album, but seems to be only present in the track titled "Cuero y Piel". Likely, this was the last record of the band with the YC-30.

In a photograph of Sarah Davachi's studio, a Yamaha YC-30 organ is visible under the table. The identification of the Yamaha YC-30 is verified by its distinctive colorful faders, the arrangement of knobs in a row, and the presence of a ribbon, as seen in the image.

In the YouTube video "Chicha Koeswoyo - Bersinar Matahari," the bird chirping sounds are reminiscent of those produced by the Yamaha YC-30, suggesting that Pompi Suradimansyah utilizes this instrument.

Hailu often played a Yamaha YC-30 combo organ in his heyday, as seen on the album cover of Tche Belew.

Terry Watkinson is shown using a Yamaha YC-30 organ in a 1979 setup for "Million Vacations," as confirmed by a photo provided by Bob Wegner in the Max Webster: High Class book. The setup includes an ARP Odyssey placed on top of the Yamaha YC-30, with a Yamaha CS-80 or CS-60 visible at his right hand.
