Nice article John - thanks.

I had a Wurlitzer (not as grand as your Trio) and it mostly worked for many years after I bought it at an auction for £11. The kids played it quite a bit.

It did eventually die and after a couple of years I realised that I would never get round to fixing it so I gave it away. You've made me feel quite guilty !

Should I have kept it ?

John,

A very impressive build. And an impressive organ. I'm not musical myself but this older technology always grabs the attention. Plus a really good FPGA project.

One of the more interesting reads I have had in a while. Thanks for posting.

Hi John,

This is a very cool project, and really well documented! It's a really nice solution for instrument tuning. Impressive that so many oscillators are used to build the instrument! I remember reading somewhere that for recording music, it would take hours each day to tune the electronic instruments up, and you had to quickly do your music recording, because later in the day it would need re-tuning again : ) - the oscillators were temperature-sensitive too : )
