INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Yamaha YC-20 for your combo organ! We hope you will
read this manual carefully and will experiment with the organs many special features,
in order that a more complete understanding of its versatility will be yours.
The Yamaha YC-20 Combo Organ includes such features as percussive effect, continu-
ously variable tone levers, a manual-bass control for independent bass section, and
bright effect, allowing you to select exactly the tonal rendition which you desire. And
in addition to ordinary variable-speed vibrato, this model has the phenomenally popular
‘Touch Vibrato’, an exclusive Yamaha feature previously available only on the costliest
console organs. Another grand feature is a choice of two channels on the manual that
can be mixed to your taste. The two channel feature can be used as a preset by manipu-
lating the balance control from one extreme to the other, however it is much more versa-
tile than a preset, as the two channels can be mixed in any degree. The result is a range
of tonal mixtures sufficient to please the most demanding musician without the vast
number of controls needed by other makes that sometimes discourages the coming
musician.
The above mentioned controls and features will be explained in more detail in the
following pages so that you again and please, read on.
