The Vox Continental Organ is a classic 1960s combo organ that is instantly identifiable by its reverse-colored keys and distinctive sound. It became a mainstay of British Invasion bands by offering a more portable substitute for heavy tonewheel organs. Hits like “Light My Fire” and “House of the Rising Sun” were characterized by its bright, reedy, and frequently brazen transistor-based sound, which was controlled by characteristic drawbars. Its distinct vintage character made it a beloved instrument.
