my first keyboard was a carl shuman piano bought by my mum and dad who both played mandolin. i was 5 years old. My first organ was a thomas single manual(bought because pub pianos were always out of tune or half the strings
were broken.Iwas a teenager .BEST keyboard/organ i had,also the hardest worked was a yamaha sk54d had 2manuals organ strings brass and synth
it was expensive at the time but nothing else came close to it soundwise
now i play a roland g70 hundreds of sounds and no sore backs anymore
how about you

My first organ was "made" by my Father. He acquired a (I think) a 3.5 octave set of keys to which he built a wooden cabinet, etched all the printed circuit boards, soldered all the components, built a power supply and amp....yes with a soldering iron and components!!! Made different circuit boards for different sounds with the help of his oscilloscope and many mathematical calculations....And no it wasn't an imported Wersi Kit!!.........And amazingly it sounded great.
It was then upstaged by a Hammond Piper, then a Hammond T500 (brill) then a Hammond Commodore, Yamaha AR100 and now I have grown up and long left home (Well left home) I now visit Mum & Dad's to play their Roland AT80SL. (Still badly).
