I recently came across one of these in a 2nd hand shop. It sounded even worse than a Optigan. It was so bad that every time I pushed a key down, I got depressed. I remember my grandparents having one. It seemed more fun back then. It looked like this one.

My grandmother had one. When I was little, she taught me to play
Epitaph on it.

OK - so she didn't really teach me to play anything - but she did have
one. I looked it over a number of times and every time I was on the
verge of asking her to let me have it, I played a couple of notes, and
thought better of asking. The thing was absolutely horrible. There
will never be a Magnus Chord Organ enthusiast's group.

I just traded my two Chamberlins for a Magnus organ!! I rule!!
I love the sound so much I'm going to ask both Markus and Martin to make custom Magnus organ mellotron tapes for me!!
I heard that when you turn 30 you become really smart!
I can't wait to be smart!!
On a serious note - I think I have 2 of them somewhere
