The Rheem company better known for their water heaters made 2 organs, the larger Mark VII and the strictly bass note model the Kee Bass. The Kee Bass was made in the late 1960's. This unit is in it's own carrying case that closes up like a suitcase (see photo)... This is a 2 octave analogue organ that only plays bass notes. This is a mono phonic unit with high note priority meaning that if you play two notes at the same time it will only play the higher of the two. The Sustain/Percussion tab functions like this: Switched to "Sustain", it plays like a regular organ - press a key and it sounds continuously until you release it. Switched to "Percussion", it plays like a piano. Press and hold a key, and the sound dies out; how fast depends on the setting of the Decay Slow/Fast switch. In percussion mode the fade out of a note will sometimes continue on to the next note you play so you have to let the note fade before playing another note. The Bass Booster, Mellow/Bright and Fuzz tabs do what you'd expect, although the Mellow/Bright is a pretty subtle effect."
