Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Crumar T1

From: Vance Pomeroy <vance@juniperpacific.com>

I've been the proud owner of several Crumar's (Orchestrator, T1, DS-2, Synergy). This is a nice sounding pseudo-B3, but is a bit thin sounding straight. Left-hand bass is very good. Use to use it on top of my Chamberlin back in the 3-piece days.
As with all Crumar's of this time period, they're heavy. They also had a minor reputation in their day for slightly dodgy circuit boards....but, overall, they're fairly reliable, easy to use and flexible.

Anyone here have any wisdom for me on this instrument? I may be picking one up for $50. or less on sunday. My hope is that I can use it live as a substitute for a VST organ. Just to make things easier.
