Vox Continental Baroque
DiscontinuedReleased 1968
Thomas Organ's oddball: a Super Continental-style lower manual under a completely separate upper keyboard of percussive voices (harpsichord, banjo, piano, cimbalom, vibes and more), plus a knee lever that bends pitch or works a wah, and a built-in amplifier. Expensive at $1,598, unreliable and a poor seller, which is why you rarely see one.
