Synthbits: Django Django’s Tommy Grace on His Rare Yamaha D85 Organ

Written by Blake Angelos on July 12, 2018. Posted in 1970s.

We found this gem over at factmag.com and had to share. Django Django‘s keyboardist Tommy Grace shows off his vintage Yamaha Electone D85. The 253 lbs D85 had two 49-note manuals, a 37 note mini synth keyboard, 16 built in rhythms with 4 variations and more. It’s amazing how cool this behemouth sounds and the design similarites to the amazing GX-1.

Check out Tommy Grace as he takes you through the D85:
