Saturday Synth Porn: The Wersi Delta Digital DX500T Glas was a transparent Lucite organ, made in 1987 by Wersi Electronics.
While this sexy beast may look like it belongs in the lair of Bond villain, it is a prototype that was used as a display model. There were only 2 examples in the United States.
This instrument went up for auction a few years ago.
From the auction description:
The Delta Digital DX500T Glas organ comes replete with all manuals, control panel templates, music stand, T5100 amplified speakers, Lucite dollies, pedal board, adjustable bench and chromed keys. And it works beautifully!!!

Ooft now that is a sexy organ. Plexiglass and early digital electronics? Yes please.
Toss some LEDs in there and you have yourself the greatest stage piece ever constructed.
You have never gazed upon a proper cathedral organ, that rises up tier upon tier, stories to the ceiling of brass and stone and wood waiting to sing and howl and rumble the very foundations of Heaven. Or a proper steam calliope. A steam calliope beats this hands down. At least this is chrome and glaze. If it were gold, it would be ostentatious.
Wow,. Beatiful Wersi DX 500 T. I got the Böhm Musical Digital 1030 Model at home. Also lot of Hmmond Leslies Rare Arp Rhodes Electric Piano. Keyboards Digital Synergy+ Midi & Kaypro Computer. More my band and my music site http://www.yesterday.se

That is incredible, when you think you’ve seen it all… I wonder how the lucite holds up over time.
I think they used Lexan, which does not yellow, is clearer than glass (nearly as clear as air) and is bulletproof. (See Harrison Ford’s The Fugitive.) Lucite is brittle and turns yellow.
close to the Yamaha FX1 organ

Where’s the Wurly? Wersi needs a Wurly.
Ach. Where’s my head at? Leslie. Wersi needs a Leslie. Scratch that last comment.
Then again, maybe it does need Wurly. Maybe it’s lonely. Maybe it’s been pinin’ for the fjords.
