What is the organ / keyboard used in this song. I've heard theNon refer to it as "Nintendo-like" in an eBay auction.b, 21b, 21object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="335" height="28" id="divplaylist"1param name="movie" value="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=6050740-f21" /1embed src="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=6050740-f21" width="335" height="28" name="divplaylist" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"1/embed1/object1

    Not sure what was used but this site has a collection of software for NES sound files. Mostly for PC though.b, 21b, 21http://www.2a03.org/software.php/a1

    I always assumed stuff like that was a Vox or Farafisa I wasn't familiar with.

    I'd guess a farfisa but I can't say I've ever heard one quite like that... b, 21b, 21Youtube + "nintendo organ" = b, 21b, 21object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1

    You gotta think about the budgets most bands had back in the day.b, 21Your average salsa band could never afford a VCS3.b, 21It has to be some mid priced widely available keyboard from that time.b, 21Something you could buy from the organ shop in the mall circa 1976.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21Exactly, but you know, someone left it in the studio, and boom, "let's go play with that".b, 21b, 21b, 21I know I've heard the sound in television promo music from the late 70's but couldn't tell you what it is by ear. Name the artist and then we can backtrack.

    I've got a Roland EP30 piano from the mid-70s that sounds like that.b, 21b, 21img src="http://www.denhaku.com/77/ep30.jpg"1b, 21b, 21object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b, 21b, 21It's definitely got that Fela plastic piano sound, but there are other models/manufacturers that have the same kind of sound. I used to have an italian Elex piano that came close to that too.

    very nice, I'll be keeping an eye out for one of those. Looks like they are pretty cheap too.
