Crumar Mojo Classic

The tonewheel organ

The sound of the tonewheel organ has always been one of the most widely used across every musical genre, from pop to rock, from R&B to jazz... but for many musicians and producers the problem was the instrument itself: too expensive, bulky, heavy and hard to move. The solution arrived in the 1970s, when transistor technology made it possible to build lighter, more portable organs, but without tonewheels. Then the revolution came in the 1990s with DSP technology, and the next revolution was in 2012, when Crumar introduced, for the first time, the Mojo organ. It was the most affordable, elegant, lightweight and realistic digital reincarnation of the tonewheel giants. This set a standard, with a new aesthetic, a reduced set of drawbars and a completely redesigned interface, without compromising the ergonomics and playability of the classic tonewheel organs. Now that standard is being offered again, once more, with the new Crumar Mojo line.
