McHENRY SAVINGS I lit* tllltlHIl* SECTION 1 SUPPLEMENT TO MdfENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 3 - TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, Giving Family Electronic Organ Is Like Giving A Whole Orchestra Looking for a Christmas gift for the whole family? Why not give them an or­ chestra -- or a rock band, or a jazz combo? Better yet, why not give them all, and more, in the form of an electronic organ! Today's organ can make just about any kind of mu­ sic imaginable, and is so easy to play that a gift in­ strument delivered on the day before Christmas can mean beginners sitting down to play a carol before evening, complete with full chording and instrumental as well as rhythmic accom-. paniment. This ability to provide music instantly, combined with its capabilities as a challenging instrument for even the most accomplish­ ed musician, is the major reason for the organ's po­ sition as the favorite instru­ ment of nearly 6 million amateur musicians in the' United States, according to the National Association of Electronic Organ Manu­ facturers. The electronic organ is a tme child of the space age, incorporating many of the same engineering tech­ niques that are used in space exploration. Sound complicated? Not at all. Merely by pressing a but­ ton, the full flute chorus can be changed to the sound of a string, brass or reed sec­ tion, or even a complete range of individual instru­ ments, including banjo, pi­ ano, oboe or trumpet. And with the twist of a knob, these basic "pre-set" sounds can be made to do things that would be impossible on the original instruments. In addition, most models - have special stops that can duplicate such special ef­ fects sounds as whistles, popping corn, chimes, even a singing voice. Such versatility makes the organ a perfect gift for the whole family. It can not only play any kind of music with the "appropriate" in­ struments, but can also pro­ vide an automatic rhythmic accompaniment for every tempo from polka to march. Full-size home organs are Available in two basic mod­ els, the spinet and the con­ sole, which differ primarily in size and number of keys. Spinets with one keyboard start at around $600. Mod­ els with two 44-note key­ boards and a 13-note pedal- board range, in price from $1,000 to $4,000. The larger consoles sell for $8,000 or $9,000 and have 61-note keyboards and a full 25- note pedalboard. As a rule, consoles also have more special controls for various sounds, but many spinets come close in range. No matter what your dec­ orating scheme, there are organ models that can serve as handsome focal points for any room. Cabinets are available in a wide variety of woods, and in styles from ultra-modern to French Provincial. One model, when closed, looks like an early American roll-top desk. Since headset jacks are now standard equipment on most organs; the instru­ ment is good for apartments and for rooms with televi­ sion or stereo sets. By using the headset, you can play for yourself alone. Many units also come with cas­ sette tape decks, which are ideal for pre-taped music lessons, or for taping the results of your own practic­ ing, and even playing auets with yourself. And, organs can be plugged into/any standard outlet. J, HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ONE AND ALL! Unnsual Decoration with Stocking "Angel" Need Christmas orna­ ments -- fast? Then make beguiling stocking charact­ ers, like the angel in the accompanying photograph. It takes no special artistry -- just a sturdy white sock (athletic socks are ideal) and a bowl of Elmer's glue. Soak the sock in the glue, wring it out slightly, then shape over bottles and oth- 1977 V - er forms. In this case, the basic "mold" was an in­ stant-coffee jar, topped with a styrofoam ball. Over this went a plastic bag, its shoulders stuffed with pa­ per to form the arms -- and over that went the glue- soaked sock. When completely dry, it was carefully lifted off the mold and given the finish­ ing touches -- a painted face, paper wings, a shiny ring for a halo. But with a few changes of detail, it could be a snowman, even a red-sprayed Santa! Mien our When you join McHenry Savings 1978 Christmas Club you'll receive a gift right away.
