TELSTAR

 

Street and Dance organ Combo!

 

The Telstar is a very versatile organ and was built in recent times by the well known Dutch organ builder, Theo Heesbeen of Tilburg.

 

It has 41 keys, with a scale based on the of Limonaire, with 6 bass, 10 accompaniment and 16 melody. In addition it has drums tamborine and cymbals for a rythmic affect second to none.

 

The registers are violin, bourdon, glockenspiel and two real accordions which are connected to the organ mechanism.

 

The Telstar is a very popular organ at all the events it attends, being well capable of playing traditional street organ repertoire, fairground music and dance organ hits, as well as classics and Christmas music.

 

The transport system allows for the organ to be removed from the trailer and taken indoors, where it is equally at home.
