The CH and CN models have a 15" woofer, made possible by the extra space available in the enclosed lower portion.

Unlike Hammond's four-poster models, the FL contains internal speakers and amplification: a 12" woofer and a rectangular horn tweeter, driven by a built-in power amplifier of 40 watts. The FL exhibits a "four-poster" cabinet design (with open space in the knee area), in imitation of certain Hammond organs such as the famed B3, while the CH and CN are designed like normal pipe organ consoles, the Church model being more traditional and heavily built than the Coronation.

These were the first full-sized Lowrey organs, each having two 61-key manuals and a 25-note pedalboard. Lowrey's "Festival" FL model was introduced in 1959, along with the electronically identical models CH and CN: "Church" and "Coronation" respectively. They even smell good, and their warmth makes me warm on the inside (to paraphrase my German friend Bernd)! Simply put: they look cool, they sound great, and they can last forever. Why are tube organs my favorite, you may ask? Because they are universally well-built, attractively styled, fun and easy to work on, and unique and satisfying in tonal quality. This article describes the Lowrey "Festival" model FL, as one of a series of articles on my favorite class of instruments: vacuum-tube organs.
