I have an old C500 Lowrey and it has some particle board in it and it is still like new. I have an Allen and that sounds amazing but I have heard Hauptwerk organs though that sounded even better. I love the sound of the Lowrey and I love mine. What I LOVE about the Lowrey is the sound the look and the build quality for an MDF cabinet it is well put together and the boards and stuff are installed in metal trays and uses fiberglass boards.
another short coming is that when you turn off the organ it goes back to the standard settings everytime you switch the organ on. Another short coming is in their solo and chorus sounds you can only use one at a time. for what they sell for you would think they would use the best casework available. first most are made of particle board or MDF they do a great job of hiding that fact.
Its funny how a top-of-the-range Lowrey which would set you back three or four times the cost of a Roland 900P sounds like a toy in comparison.Īgain, i know these things are subjective but i think i would be speaking for the majority of organists out there. I have to say that I haven't played anything that would want to make me part with my AT900P, though.Yes, i have heard her play the Lowrey and must say she does a better job than most. I have to say that I haven't played anything that would want to make me part with my AT900P, though. I'm sure if I sat down at something like a Marquee or Aria Pro, and you gave me half an hour, I'd be making some great sounds on it, and enjoying myself, but that's been my job, if you like, for the past 40+ years, finding out what makes an instrument tick and getting the best out of it. Many years ago, I was set to go up and review a Lowrey or two here in the UK, but for whatever reason, the appointment was cancelled. I assume that things improved after they were made!
How old those models were, I couldn't tell you. Nice creamy flutes and the usual slightly mushy Lowrey strings, but the rest, no. I was not impressed with them in terms of overall tone. I haven't played any of the more recent models but when one of my students was buying his AT900 Platinum, he was with the store guys doing the paperwork, so I wandered around the store playing a few organs, including some Lowreys. I never judge an organ until I've sat down and played it myself, so I don't bother commenting on video clips. I assume that you have heard Lori Graves play it? There aren't that many examples of the Lowrey being played straight.
