You do not actually hear the sound of the reeds. The reeds are only used to produce the vibration necessary to generate a note, which is then subject to electronics. These organs are not actually reed organs in the sense of Grandma’s old pump organ. One clarification should be made at this point. The 4800 was a large two-manual, 32 pedal organ with more stops, preset stops and a crescendo pedal. Examples of the changes are: 4600 Strings 8’, 4602 Salicional 8’ 4600 Tone Coloring 2-2/3’, 4602 Nazard 2-2/3’, etc.Īlso, on the 4600, the pedal stops were Double Bass 16’, Octave Bass 8’, Pedal Soft, Pedal Medium, Pedal Full, but the 4602 had five traditional organ voices and volume was controlled through the combination of those stops. The 4602 was the same as the 4600 but had a 32-note pedalboard and modification of some of the stops. Ken Griffin used this model for many recordings and his television program 67 Melody Lane, although most of his work was on Hammond and a sparse amount on Conn. The 4600 had two 61-note manuals and 25 pedals with a standard stop system without levers. The 4410 had percussion (Attack and Sustain), and subsequent models with additional features were called 4420, 4430, etc. The 44 was a spinet with nine stops on each manual and three lever controls for pedal volume and vibrato. They were the 44 (they did not call it 4400 as they did with other models), 4600, 46. In 19, these models were discontinued and a new, streamlined version of the reed-electric organ was introduced. These instruments were excellent, I have played several of them in churches and they sounded exactly like pipe organs. After the war, Wurlitzer came out with several models using reeds and electronic amplification, designated as various models from Model 20 to Model 50.
In the mid-1960s, the Hammond Organ Company purchased Everett. In this form, it was not practical and needed many improvements to be a fully competitive instrument. This latter company was famous for the Orgatron, which was a reed organ electronically amplified. Just before the involvement of the United States in World War II, the Wurlitzer Company purchased the Everett Organ Company in Grand Haven, Michigan, USA. In 1935, the company discontinued production of these fine instruments. The Wurlitzer Organ will always be remembered as the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ of the 1920a and 1930s. They developed, over the centuries, band instruments and were famous for jukeboxes.
