Organ
A keyboard that holds a note forever without fading.
1 · Hear it
Listen twice: once alone, once with the band. The second one is how you'll actually hear it in songs.
2 · What it actually is
Sound made by spinning wheels or pipes — it sustains as long as the key is held.
Its job
Fills the background with a solid wall of harmony.
Listen for
No decay at all. It just sits there until it stops.
You've heard it in: Gospel, reggae skanks, classic rock.
