Okay, now THAT'S funny! Holy cow...
Greg/oasysco
Heh-heh... from the music theory and history lesson (and I use those
terms loosely as she did, referring to sharps/flats as "minor" notes)
to the seemingly unintended double entendres of "organ" as it relates
to size and use, that was a pretty funny post. But gotta admit that
after her sales pitch, I'm ready to drop $350 on that thing!

RETRO ORGAN WITH MULTIPLE INSTRUMENTAL OPTIONS AND BENCH - $350 (Aurora,
Colorado 80017)
Date: 2011-04-15, 2:23AM MDT
Reply to: sale-n6g...@craigslist.org (munged)
In search of serious, ethical, honest, and reliable buyers with a
conscience who might be interested in purchasing this extremely well
preserved organ that is in such excellent condition that it appears as
though it had just been introduced into the showroom of one store or
another in 1960 (51 years ago), which was the year in which it was first
marketed. I acquired this CONN Minuet 460 Minuet Organ from the son of a
92-year-old professional photographer whose home was very recently sold.
The organ is in pristine condition and probably about as perfectly tuned as
any organ (or any instrument for that matter) could ever be.
Functionally, it is flawless. Cosmetically, it is very close to flawless.
Every single one of its note keys and chord keys are shiny and clean and
without even the slightest abrasion or chip. The same is true of the 18
colored keys that one presses to enable this organ to produce 33 totally
different instrumental sounds.
The word minuet is a French derivative that – simply phrased – translates
into meaning small. However, from my vantage point, this organ is rather
perfect in size for use in the home, a church, or an entertainment center.
What I personally have discovered in the process of using it is this: the
conception that a “minuet” (or, small) organ pales in comparison to a
larger one is somewhat of a fallacy. More specifically, even at its lowest
volume, the sound produced by this organ is without a doubt loud enough to
be heard up and down my cul-de-sac (if not much further); and that sound is
extraordinarily in tune, clear, crisp, and without any irritating vibratory
sounds.
Another not so insignificant point about this CONN Minuet 460 Organ is that
it contains two keyboards. More precisely, there is an upper lever keyboard
and a lower level keyboard. Admittedly, being somewhat of a novice in the
realm of organs and having to do much research to understand its many
details and dynamics in order to practice on it and play it and in order to
write this post, what I discovered is that the upper level keyboard
produces more lower tones (i.e., more bass), while the lower level keyboard
produces more higher level tones (i.e., more treble).
With all due respect to those more familiar with the keys on an organ (or,
on a piano), it seems important enough to explain the following. Each organ
(or piano) has white keys and also has black keys. The white keys produce
notes that are referred to as “major” notes, while the black keys produce
notes which are referred to as “minor” notes.
These notes are begin alphabetically on the white keys with the “C” note,
then the “D” note, then the “E” note, and so forth for a total of 7 white
keys that begin with the “C” note, progress through the alphabet to the “B”
note, then start all over again. These white key notes are called “major”
notes”
Between the white keys of an organ (or a piano) are black keys. These keys
also represent notes. However, the notes produced by the black keys are
referred to as “minor” notes. Interspersed between the 7 white key major
notes are 5 black key minor notes. The total of the 7 white key major notes
plus the 5 black key minor notes equals 12.
This pattern of 12 keys is repeated along the keyboard of an organ or a
piano from left to right. The uttermost left white key on an organ (or, a
piano) produces a lower pitched sound. In other words, the first twelve
keys beginning on the far left of an organ (or, a piano) are much lower in
pitch than the last 12 keys on an organ (or, a piano).
As a whole, each group of 12 keys is referred to in music as an “octave.”
Again, with all due respect to those more familiar with certain musical
terms, it does seem important enough to simplify too the term “octave” for
those less familiar or not at all familiar with the meaning of this word.
Perhaps, the easiest way to conceptualize the difference between one octave
and another is to think of, for instance, the far left white key of a
keyboard (or, the “C” Major key) as being lower in pitch than the second
grouping of 12 keys beginning with the second “C” Major key.
This CONN Minuet 460 Organ has a total of 24 white and black keys on the
upper keyboard. In that each octave contains 12 black plus white keys, one
need only divide 12 into the total number of keys on any keyboard to
determine just how many octaves are contained in a keyboard. In this case,
one would divide the 24 keys of the upper keyboard by 8 to realize that the
top keyboard of this CONN Minuet 460 Organ contains 3 octaves, or 3 pitches
from the lower pitched keys on the left to the higher pitched keys on the
right. The lower level of keys on this CONN Minuet keyboard is essentially
the same. That is, it contains a total of 24 keys, or 3 octaves.
The difference though between the upper keyboard of this CONN Minuet 460
Organ and the lower level of 24 keys on it is that the upper level of keys
are all much lower in pitch than the lower level of keys. In other words,
the upper level of keys produced lower sounds (or pitches) that are with
more of a bass quality, while the lower level of keys produce higher sounds
(or pitches) that are more with a treble quality.
There are 3 knobs along the wooden area just below the top left side of the
organ and just above the upper keyboard. The first of these knobs turns the
organ on or off. The second of these 3 knobs enables the player to produce
a flute or accompaniment or solo sound. Finally the third of theses 3 knobs
can be turned in order to increase the speed of the sound or to decrease
the speed of the sound from slow to fast; and every single one of these 7
knobs functions perfectly.
In addition, there are 7 switches along the wooden area just below the top
right side of the organ and just above the upper keyboard that one pushes
upward or downward and that offer 7 more options with regard to producing
sounds; and every single one of these 7 switches functions perfectly.
At the far left of the top keyboard of this CONN 460 Minuet Organ, there
are a total of 18 buttons that resemble the keys of a keyboard except that
they are with squared edges and wider. These 18 keys on the far left side
of the top keyboard can be depressed at their tops or at their bottoms to
turn them on or off. Each of these keys is colored in a different way; and,
as a whole, the line of keys is extremely striking in its variations of
color. The purpose of these keys is to enable the CONN 460 Minuet Organ to
imitate the sound of a variety of instruments. These instruments include a
horn, a bass viole, a bass saxophone, a violin, an oboe, a flute, and much
more.
On the very far right of the top keyboard is an on/off button that is
pushed away from the player or towards the player to turn on or off the
entire organ. When the player is on, a small round orange-red light appears
above this switch. When the organ is off, the hard plastic over this light
is dark.
The lower level keyboard is similar in its layout. To the left of the lower
keyboard, there are also buttons that resemble the keys of an organ except
that they are more squared and all colorful. There are a total of 9 of
these buttons on the left side of the lower keyboard. As with the colored
keys on the upper keyboard, these enable the CONN 460 Minuet Organ to
imitate the sound of even more instruments. These additional instruments
include a flute, a cello, an English horn, and so forth.
Then, on the far right of the keys of the organ’s lower keyboard, there are
a total of 6 other colorful and squared buttons. This particular set of
buttons serve somewhat of a different purpose than the others in that these
6 buttons specifically correlate to the pedals of the organ.
In total, there are 8 long and creamy brown on the bottom front of the CONN
Minuet 460 organ, all of which are somewhat thin and rounded a their tips.
These are interspersed with a total of 5 black pedals that, though also
somewhat thin and rounded at their edges, are shorter than the light creamy
brown pedals. These pedals are in addition to one more pedal towards the
lower right side of the organ just above the floor. This particular pedal
actually resembles the gas pedal of a motor vehicle and has a hard rubber
top juxtaposed to the hard plastic composition of the other pedals on the
lower left side of the organ.
There is a very large fabric covered speaker area that covers the entire
bottom front of the organ. There are absolutely no flaws in this fabric.
Behind the fabric are speakers. Below the fabric are a total of 7 long
creamy brown colored foot pedals in addition to 5 shorter black foot
pedals. The basic purpose of these pedals is to extend and enhance the
notes and chords played on the two upper keyboards. There is also one
additional foot pedal that resembles the gas pedal of a motor vehicle. This
pedal is located towards the right lower side of the organ beneath the
speaker fabric.
In terms of speakers, the front speaker is not the only one built into this
organ. More precisely, there are two additional areas of fabric on the
right side and on the left side of the organ’s wooden side. These fabric
covered speakers do not cover either the entire right side or the entire
left side of the organ. Rather, they are centered in the middle of the very
thick and solid wooden sides of the organ and are oval in shape juxtaposed
to front fabric covered speakers that are rectangular in shape.
Nonetheless, these two oval fabric areas covering the side speakers are
also without absolutely no tears or shredding of fabric.
Meanwhile, the bench that is included with this purchase is without any
defects at all. It is constructed of very solid and thick wood. The seating
area has a yellowish gold colored cushion that is secure strapped o the
seat. Although not all hat young, this cushion is amazingly comfortable.
The bench opens by way of two inner hinges that tight, though open quite
smoothly. When opened, revealed s a felt lined interior in which one can
keep music sheets and music booklets. For starters, I am including with
this organ a total of 7 music books that are apt to be of value to whoever
does purchase the organ. This includes one most interesting booklet that
apparently came with the organ when first delivered to the original owner:
”CONN MINUET 460: Registrations, Show Chord, Rhythm Section, and Repeat
Percussion.” This booklet was published by the Conn Organ Corporation,
Elkhart Indiana.” Although I could not find in it the year in which this
booklet was published, I did find in small black print on the bottom edge
of the back of this booklet the following: “Form No. 4353, Part No. 072005”
and “Made in U.S.A.”
While there does seem to be available these days a considerable number of
organs suddenly available to the public, it is unlikely that one will find
one that has been treated with such utmost kindness as this one. In short,
it is a true gem; and anyone who passes up this offer might very well be
regretting it for a very long time juxtaposed to those other organs that I
have examined and found to be neglected in one way or another with regard
to its present and/or past owners neglecting it in one way or another.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ORGAN AND A PIANO?
So, just what is the difference between an organ and a piano? The
abbreviated answer to this question is this. First, a piano is a percussion
instrument that operates on the same principle as, for instance, a drum or
bongos or a tambourine. By contrast, an organ is a wind instrument that
operates on the same principle as, for instance, a saxophone or a trombone.
More specifically, when a key on a piano is struck, it is not capable of
sustaining a note or a chord or a sound indefinitely. By contrast, when a
key on an organ is struck, it is capable of sustaining a note or a chord or
a sound indefinitely. The reason for the latter is that a piano functions
in a totally different way than an organ. More specifically, keys on a
piano are attached to hammer, which is in turn attached to a metal string
that creates a certain degree of tension. This tension subsequently
produces a sound; and that sound is a note or a chord. However, unlike an
organ, the sound produced by pressing the key of a piano cannot be
sustained in that the tension between the hammer and the metal string can
endure only as long as the key is pressed.
Now, because an organ is a wind instrument juxtaposed to being a percussion
instrument, the sound produced when a key on an organ is pressed can be
sustained for much longer (or, indefinite) periods of time. In no small way
does the latter have to do with the fact that an organ’s key is not
attached to anything. Rather, an organ’s key operates on the principle of
air that is far more sustainable in terms of producing sound. Subsequently,
this enables the organ player to sustain a note or a chord or a sound for
(as previously noted) an indefinite period of time. In other words, the
organ player need not re-strike a key to repeat a sound in that the sound
can resonate via air waves for a very, very long period of time.
After much searching, I was able to find only 3 CONN organs for sale
online. One of these 3 CONN organs was a vintage CONN 1976 Deluxe Caprice
Organ. Having been manufactured in 1976, this particular organ was 16 years
YOUNGER (or newer) than my vintage 1960 CONN Minuet 460 Organ.
Unfortunately though, this particular organ was listed on a website on
which one would have to join and pay a monthly fee in order to have
revealed the price of the organ.
The other of these 3 CONN Minuet organs was NOT the same type of minuet
organ as the CONN 460 Minuet Organ that I am offering for sale. Rather, it
was a CONN Minuet 541 Organ that was listed for $100. Ultimately, there was
only one website on which I was able to find an identical CONN 460 Minuet
Organ. This organ was listed for $500 [NOT including the price of shipping
and handling, which – I suspect – would be quite expensive given the weight
of this organ]. More precisely, to move this organ from the home of its
original owner to my home required 3 very strong guys.
MY asking price for my Conn 460 Minuet Organ is $350 in that it does indeed
seem very rare and not at all that easy to find and in that this particular
organ being offered by me is in virtually pristine condition. Aiming to
sell ASAP. In other words . . . the first to call me, get directions to my
home, drive to my home, and pay with cash gets to drive home with the
organ.
So . . . give me call, arrange a day and date and time to come over and see
this CONN Minuet 460 Organ with your own eyes, feel it with your own hands,
move your fingers over its keys, listen to the sounds produced, and inspect
all aspects of the organ and its bench in detail. Then, put on your sweater
or jacket or scarf and winter coat and gloves, ignite your engine, drive to
my home, and make me an offer that I cannot refuse!!! Being fair and
flexible, I am more than willing to negotiate a price that feels reasonable
and comfortable to both buyer and seller.
Prefer a local buyer in Metro Denver and surrounding areas that can come to
my home in central Aurora, pay with cash, and transport this item at their
own expense. Remember, you will definitely need to plan on recruiting a
minimum of 3 strong guys to help you transport this very heavy organ.
However, once moved, it is not all that easy to maneuver around one’s home
(as long as steps or a staircase is not a part of that maneuvering).
Perhaps, one of my own biggest blunders in the transporting process was to
rent a truck that had neither a ramp nor a dolly, which certainly would
have made the entire process less painful.
You can call me anytime, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. If I am not
available when you call, please leave a message noting your name and
number. Also, please specify exact item of interest by name. I typically
return calls within 24 to 48 hours (if not within an hour or even less).
Once we connect via phone, I could then provide you with more specific
directions to my home so that you can come over and decide if you want it.
I live in Aurora. Generally speaking, Mississippi is to my north, Iliff to
my south, Buckley to my east, and Chambers to my west. More specifically, I
live in a house on a cul-de-sac that is just north of Mexico and just south
of Iowa. Even more precisely, the following is my full name and phone
numbers. For the record, you are much more apt to reach me by phone at
either one of the following two numbers:
Thanks . . . Diane

P.S. - You are much more likely to reach me by phone than by e-mail even
though I do check my e-mail often.
ABBREVIATED HISTORY OF THE CONN ORGAN CORPORATION
YEAR FOUNDED: 1857
FOUNDER: Charles G. Conn
WHERE FOUNDED: Elkhart, Indiana
YEAR CONN MANUFACTURED ITS FIRST ELECTRONIC ORGAN: 1947
NAME OF FIRST ORGAN MANUFACTURED IN 1947: “Connsonata”
YEAR FIRST COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL ORGAN MANUFACTURED: 1951
1958: CONN introduced the “Artist” model organ, which was the first in its
700 series of organs
THE “ARTIST” MODEL [manufactured in 1958]:
- 61 note manuals
- 25 pedals
- manual stops were all at 8’ pitch and produced octave and mutation
pitches through a myriad of couplers
- all pedal voices were 16’ with an 8’ coupler.
- this system of coupling made “Artist” a harmonic synthesis organ
- couplers affected all voices rather than just the flutes
- this organ had separate tremolo oscillators for each manual that both ran
at different speeds
1957: Conn revised the Artist Model 720 and made the change to a 32-note
pedalboard
- keying system improved to provide voices at the various pitches and
- reduced the couplers to the traditional ones found on a
- pipe organ.
INNOVATIONS:
- Conn used an independent tone generator for each note and employed
special keying circuits to slightly
slow the attack of the notes, imitating the slight delay of a pipe organ.
- the intentional slow attack and bold voicing of the CONN organ produced
an instrument that bore
an uncanny resemblance to a pipe organ that would appeal to customers in
the mainstream commercial market
WHERE CONN GAINED MOST FAME:
- for its string tone; if you closed your eyes, you’d think a real violin
was playing
MORE INNOVATIONS THAT MADE CONN APPEALING TO THE HOME ORGANIST:
- Chimes, Piano, Sustain, Repeat Percussion and more
CONN EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:
- Stereo Expression, Phantom Bass, Calliope Tuning and the Tone Modifier
(controlled by pistons)
- the One-Man Band played rhythm instruments at the touch of a pedal or
lower manual key or chord;
it also included automatic rhythm and spontaneous rhythm instrument buttons
- voices could be channeled to percussion or repeat percussion with the
Fun-Master
- the flute or tibia stops could be increased in volume and the organist
could select settings to
increase these in bass, treble or all
- CONN also had sets of pipes, which were actually speakers and could be
attached to any model
CONN WAS A FIERCE COMPETITOR IN THE ELECTRONIC ORGAN MARKET:
- produced organs of every size suitable for homes, churches, and places of
entertainment
- produced both manual organs and electronic organs
- also manufactured custom organs
CONN MANUAL ORGANS:
- “Theatrette”: came in 2 and 3 manual vesions
- 3 other manual organs with 32 pedals in both church and theatre organ
style
CONN CONSOLE MODELS: 25 pedals
CONN CONCERT MODELS: 32 pedals
- “Theatre”: introduced in 1963, the “640 Theatre” was first concert model
introduced
- “Rhapsody”
- “Seranade”
CONN SPINETS:
- “Caprice”
- “Theatrette”
- “Minuet”
1969: The CONN Organ Corporation was bought by McMillan & Company – a
publisher of educational/school textbooks. However, this transaction did
NOT include the purchase of CONN’s other assets, which includes its
manufacturing of band instruments. Thus, to date, while CONN no longer
manufactures organs, it is continuing to manufacture band instruments.
1979: This is the year in which CONN became one of the first nig organ
companies to go out of business. It was then taken over by the Kimball
Piano & Organ Company. Not long thereafter though, Kimball Piano and Organ
Company also ceased to exist.
FOR THE RECORD AND A MATTER OF INTEREST:
One can identify the difference between a true CONN organ and a
Kimball-CONN organ by examining the pistons. More specifically, the pistons
on a true CONN organ were round, as are the pistons on my CONN organ. By
contrast, the pistons on a Kimball-Conn organ are square.

I agree.
"the conception that a “minuet” (or, small) organ pales in comparison
to a larger one is somewhat of a fallacy."
I think she meant *Phallicy*

I guess she's right about the black keys being minor. Think about it:
There's a Bb in the key of F, which is relative to Dm. And as we
know, Dm is the saddest of all the minor keys. So there you go.
