$78,000 is what my dad paid for his several years ago. It is now worth no more than $10,000 if I am lucky
Hello there, I hope that this will answer your question. Many years ago in the 1970's, i was lucky enough to be able to go the the many organ dealers in the area of England that I lived in and look at and try out the various organs. At that time, many organ manufacturers such as Lowrey, Conn, Farfisa, Viscount, Hammond and of course Gulbransen, had their cabinets made of REAL WOOD. This made the organs very heavy. Also at that time there was a theory that once you had bought an organ, and played it for a while, the organ tone would mature as the cabinet aged. Even later organs by organ makers Lowrey, which had the less heavy circuit boards, and modern modern electronic magic STILL made there cabinets out of solid heavy wood. I hope this answers your question. Actually, I like a heavy organ as I am 6 foot 2 inches, and when I play, I like my organ to be stable, and not rock about like some of the cheaper asian models. My organs have been, a Thomas color-glow, Lowrey citation Spinet, Lowrey Coronation, Lowrey MX1, (A light Yamaha HC4 which could be transported easily) and my current organ a Technics GX5 which I have had for 7 years (And is heavy). You may like to hear me plying it on my YouTube channel "2009RobinC" Best wishes Robin
Honestly, it's hard to say. Lowrey has been producing organs for several years now and they are constantly updating their technology and improving. The M-375 is indeed a great organ, it has decent animation sounds with the flutes, and the rhythm section is not bad for an organ of its age. Honestly, it has the old technology for the ez-play today music so in the eyes of that aspect, its not worth anything. You could possibly sell it to a person who is looking for a practice organ that lives in a smaller place. As for value, no more than $200
Used Lowrey Stardust organs manufactured in any of three years, are now (2009) worth in the $11,000.'s. They are selling on ebay, and in personal deals between $11,300 and $11,900. However dealers and private owners have them listed between $11,900 and $33,000. Those sales will not be transacted because the price is too high. The organs listed that high will be traded in for larger organs in order to resolve the owner's wanting to rid themselves of those organs. Ken A.
As a former Lowrey salesman, and the owner of Majesty, I can tell you not much based on the original selling price. One has to understand that organs in general are the worst investment there is bar none! The best one can hope for is about 15 cents on the dollar...and that would be a organ that is only several years old. Most domestic organ manufacturers got out of the business in the early 80's. Lowrey was the only one left, and they are in difficulty these days. They were bought out by Kawi Pianos a couple of years ago, and their sales continue to drop due to the waning interest in home organs. As to the current value of a Majesty today...the real world value would be about 2500-$3,000. One can ask any price they want, but on E Bay the ones that sell are in the range quoted as of 11/2010. I've seen listings as high as $19,900 but they don't get one offer. Someone will think because the organ cost 50-$80,000 new that 25% of the original price is a great deal, but it isn't. They think hope patsy will come along and pay their price, but it will never happen! One last thought as to the value of any used organ...some will go to the original store where the organ was purchased new and ask it's value. They will be given a inflated value so they don't make a scene in the store and scare other potential customers away...so be warned.

Peanuts Lowrey was born on August 27, 1917 and died on July 2, 1986. Peanuts Lowrey would have been 68 years old at the time of death or 97 years old today.

for something that old, someone has to see the condition of the musical instrument to give you a fair value. try any hammond organ outlet. they should have somebody in store or point you to the right direction.
