The Mighty Organ that you can play at home! Featured today are three product demonstration discs from the Conn Organ Company. While you listen to the recordings take a gander at the long rich history of Conn, take a tour of a Conn Organ Plant in 1971, and check out this Wikipedia entry to get a brief introduction. With limited information to be found online it seems as if the Caprice is from the 1950s and the Prelude from the early 1960s but maybe a reader out there can share this knowledge. Below are additional covers of the instructional booklets that accompanied the Organs (found via ebay).
