Relationships
Parents	Keyboard	Any instrument primarily distinguished by its use of the Western musical keyboard.
Instances	ElectricOrgan	Electronic keyboard instrument derived from and originally intended to emulate the harmonium, pipe organ, and theater organ.
	HammondOrgan	Electric organ with two hand-played keyboards and a foot-controlled bass keyboard. Hammonds have drawbars which can be pushed and pulled in and out to additively synthesize a variety of timbres. Released in 1935, the Hammond was the first popular electric organ. It was originally marketed as a budget substitute for pipe organs, but soon took on a life of its own, particularly as a common and fundamental instrument in gospel, blues, jazz, and rock music. Commonly played with a rotating Leslie speaker cabinet, which, depending on the speed of rotation, can create either a chorus or vibrato effect.
	LowreyOrgan	Electric organ invented by Frederick Lowrey. It was the most popular organ in the world during the 1960s and 1970s. It is primarily differentiated from its precursor, the Hammond organ, by its 'automatic accompaniment' features, such as the preset drum patterns which can be heard on Timmy Thomas's 'Why Can't We Live Together', and subsequently on Drake's 'Hotline Bling', which samples that song. Like the Hammond, the Lowrey is an electric organ with two hand-played keyboards and a foot-controlled bass keyboard. Lowreys have drawbars which can be pushed and pulled in and out to additively synthesize a variety of timbres.
	PipeOrgan	Keyboard instrument that produces sound by driving pressurized air through organ pipes. Each pipe has a fixed pitch. A Pipe Organ often contains multiple ranks of pipes with different timbres, pitches, and volumes that can be used in different combinations by use of stops.
	PositiveOrgan	Small pipe organ that is built to be easily portable. Common between the 10th and 18th centuries in chapels and small churches, as a chamber organ, and to play the basso continuo in ensembles.
	PumpOrgan	A type of free-reed organ that creates sound as air flows past a framed, vibrating piece of thin metal. It was intended to be a smaller, portable version of a pipe organ, and was widely used in small churches and private homes in the 19th century.
Belongs to AVS	avs:InstrumentType	A Type of musical instrument.
