Wouldn't it be simpler just to use a Lowrey organ?

Oh yeah, it's been mentioned here before. I've got to stop using
Marcus' and M-Tron's naming conventions and refer to the station
location instead.

so...

Right keyboard:

Station 1C - Is this the Cirkus organ?

Station 5A - How about this one?

Station 5C - Maybe this one?

Station 6C - both Mellotron.com and Chandor Chasma refer to this as
Church Organ. I believe this is the one on Seven Stones and the one
that Pinder favored.

Is the organ on the left keyboard the same as any of the above?

What is the Harpsichord Effect? Is it not a real harpsichord?
