Philicorda GM753

2012-10-09

Extensive collection of sounds from the Philips Philicorda GM751 and GM753 transistor organs. Launched in the 1960's, the Philicorda GM571 was an affordable, compact single manual home organ with a built in spring reverb and speaker. The later Philicorda GM753 did not include the built-in speaker and the Chord function but is quite similar sounding otherwise. Some famous Philicorda users include The Cardigans, Soundtrack Of Our Lives and Adele.
