About Viscount Organs

Viscount's history grew from the Galanti family's involvement in Italian musical instrument manufacturing. The family began producing accordions in Mondaino during the early 20th century, developing new mechanical designs as its instruments gained an international audience. Changing musical tastes later led the business into electronic instruments, and Marcello Galanti founded Viscount International in 1969. The company adopted digital technology during the 1980s before moving into physical modelling and other advanced methods of sound generation. Viscount remains based in Mondaino, where it continues to develop electronic organs and keyboard instruments.

The Viscount Legend ONE 61 Stage Keyboard places Viscount's tonewheel modelling in a compact instrument. Its waterfall keyboard gives you the smooth feel associated with classic organs, while high-definition sampling adds piano sounds and other useful stage voices. Four independent sections allow you to combine these sounds within a flexible live setup. If you prefer a dedicated dual-manual instrument, the Viscount Legend Organ gives you two waterfall keyboards with complete drawbar control for each manual. Developed in cooperation with KeyB, its modelling engine recreates classic tonewheel characteristics alongside adjustable rotary-speaker simulation.

Viscount's approach to instrument design reflects its longstanding connection to Italian musical craftsmanship. With a focus on preserving established playing traditions while developing new technologies, the company continues to contribute to the evolution of electronic organs.

What's harder, organ or piano?
