Up for grabs is a fantastic piece of vintage Italian musical history: the Bontempi B3 Electric Reed Organ!

Made likely in the 1970s this is the classic gray model that has become a favorite for collectors, lo-fi recording enthusiasts, and anyone looking for that unique, retro sound.

This instrument uses an internal electric fan (bellows) to push air across metal reeds, producing a charming, accordion-like tone. It's a simple, yet highly effective design.

Features & Specifications

Type: Electric Reed Organ / "Air Organ"

Keyboard: 25 mini-keys (2 octaves)

Chords: 6 fixed major chord buttons for accompaniment (Bb, F, C, G, D, A)

Origin: Made in Italy

Distinctive, vintage, and inherently lo-fi. Note that the sound of the internal fan/motor is a natural part of the instrument's operation.
