Organist slang for any pipe/electronic organ that is not a tracker action, and is therefore an inferior pile of wires, circuit boards, and magnets. It is used to describe such instruments made by Wurlitzer, Wicks, Reuter, Möller, Schantz, Austin, Aeolian-
Skinner, Rodgers,
Allen, etc.
Usually containing a stop list of all 8' pitches, they are also called "
Mud-Pits"
Oh, he's going to play a recital on that
stupid doorbell at First Presbyterian.
The
church down the street has installed a rotten doorbell to replace their A. B. Felgemacker tracker organ. Isn't that
sad?
