GEM • Parvus • 61 Keys Analog Organ (70s)

GEM Parvus
Analog Organ
Made in Italy 
Late 70s
220-240 volts

This vintage analog organ was my heart beat discovery. I already found the later version released 1989 (smaller, plastic, but MIDI). So I was very curious to go on this one because there is very few references online.

Here you have the former version, which sounds even better. Rich and warm sound you can mix by selecting “stops” to get desired timbre (yeah… organ). On chords you get really organic beating, nothing messy, but music happens.

The keyboard and touch is very confortable, 5 octaves 61 full size keys.
Signal is absolutely good, no hum or noise.
Perfect as a standalone instrument, the signal reacts also really well with fx pedals.

Inside you can trim pots for several parameters (sustains, decay, pitch etc.).
On front, there is a big transposer knob. On A (LA) you play in pitch, and you can transpose 3 semitones up/down.

On the rear part, you’ll find: aux out, phones out, speaker out, expression pedal in and aux in.
The aux in just go out as in gets in. So you can basically amplify your voice, a sound source for play over etc. Both microphone and line level working.

At any stage, the signal is heavy. I mainly used the aux out from which level is nice in my studio.

Disassembled for a deep clean before sale, as you can see on pictures. You basically work on it as on a car!

Inside is very healthy, components are stock. I only changed 2 Jack connectors (Excel 9 pins, for headphones and aux out), because it was used (even if functional). And also completed 3 little damaged edge zones on wood, with thermo-glued wooden edge-band. See last pictures.

Very interesting piece of gear under the radars. Selling because need space for other gear. It can be nice in a recording room, or if you’re organist, or even if you need drones.

Be sure to understand, it’s a pretty heavy unit (19,5 Kg).
