7th July 2021 - Page building.

In 1961 Jennings substantially scaled back public promotion of its console organs, taking out only one advert in "Musical Opinion" magazine in January. Nothing had been placed in "The Organ Quarterly Review" since October 1958.

Pages on 1954-1960 can be found here. Other years will follow soon. A sequence of pages on guitar amplifiers, beginning with 1957, starts here.

Images for the time being have to be watermarked. If anyone needs an unmarked one, do let me know.

1961-1964

"Musical Opinion" magazine, January 1961.

Jennings Organ Company, brochure 1961. The price of the Model G had gone up to 1975 guineas in November 1960 Thanks to Martin Kelly for the picture.

Jennings Organ Company, brochure 1961, detail. The three 50 Watt power sections of the Model G presumably each had the three units described, "totalling 9 loudspeakers altogether".

Music Trade magazine, May 1961. The "Model D" entertainment organ in company with instruments for "beat" music.

A detail from the ad above showing the dual purpose floor-standing organ/public speaker.

July 1961. A relatively late full-page "Jennings Organ Company" advert in the trade press, the latest that has come to light so far. The models encompassed are the: A, D2, C, G, and H. The "Model G" is now priced at the princely sum of 2250 guineas. Versions of the five models remained in the Jennings catalogue through to 1964.

Music trade magazine, July 1961. A shipment of console organs to Dublin. The Bank of England inflation calculator reckons that £3,000 in '61 would be around £68,000 today - a good order for a company that was still small.

Music trade magazine, March 1962. A general piece on electronic organs, with pictures of models produced by six manufacturers - Jennings represented by the D2 .

On to Jennings Organs, 1964.
