> I would like to know how Mike Pinder got all those low notes ... 

I get some exceptionally  L O W  notes when the power company "load
sheds" and drops the 120VAC to 60-80 volts.

Whenever that happens the "bass tron" makes some pretty interesting
sounds, but being afraid of encountering a dreaded whisp of black
smoke or burning smell and having to call Martin for parts, I turn it
off and wait until the ceiling fan is back to spinning at normal speed
...
