Overview

The Magnus Model 401 Electric Chord Organ is a classic vintage home keyboard instrument produced in the United States during the 1960s. These small tabletop organs were popular in homes and classrooms and are now sought after for their charming retro sound and mid-century design.

Magnus chord organs use a simple air-driven reed system combined with an internal fan motor. As keys are pressed, air flows across metal reeds to produce a warm, slightly reedy tone reminiscent of harmoniums and early combo organs. The instrument features labeled keys and chord buttons that allow players to easily create accompaniment while playing melodies.

Today these instruments are appreciated by vintage keyboard enthusiasts, lo-fi musicians, and collectors looking for unique analog sounds for recording and experimentation. The Model 401 offers a compact design with built-in speaker and classic wood-grain cabinet styling.
