There are two music stores in your area. One is in Grand Rapids and the other one, which is the same company, in Kalamazoo. I can't remember the names of the stores. I believe that they sell either Yamaha, Kawaii, or Techniques. I just can't remember.They are owned by Dale Zieger. Contact Dale Zieger and tell him that I sent you to him. Dale can help you out on the local level. He is really a tremendous person. He and I go back a long way and many years ago. He was the Conn representative when I was in Detroit as the Conn dealer. I just saw him in Grand Rapids last year. His office is at the Grand Rapids store.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I think this would be classified as a church organ though. I just purchased a Gulbransen organ for $20, and I really don't know much beyond that. I'm a Hammond guy, so this is definitely the first non-Hammond organ purchase I've made. It's got dual manuals and they appear to be full size, like on a B3. It looked a lot like a B3 pedal board too. It's got two sets of drawbars, but it's also got a lot of bells and whistles like celeste and chimes in the form of switches. I'm not really sure how to use it, but I need to find a guy with a truck to get it to my house. Anyway, like I said I don't really know anything about non-Hammond organs, so if anyone has any information on this brand of organ, I would really appreciate. I didn't see a model number on the front, but I'm sure if someone has photos I could identify it. I think it's a pretty good purchase. At least worth the fun of restoring.

Thanks for the help,
Mark
