Yamaha HS8

The 2 manual Yamaha HS8 organ

The Yamaha HS8 like many other home organs has two four octave manuals set one octave apart. All the voices can be set onto each manual. There is an additional solo (lead) voice that can be played on either the top or the bottom manual.

The HS 8 Organ is dwarfed by the Eminent organ next to it.

The HS8 has 16 general registers that can recall a particular voice setting.

There is a small 1 1/2 octave range for the pedals. These are the common short variety and are not polyphonic.
