Now known as GeneralMusic, GEM sold quite an impressive array of combo organs,among other keyboard instruments. They also marketed consoleorgans under the Galanti name (GeneralMusic's current chairman isMatteo Galanti - perhaps the founder?). GEM stands for 'GalantiElectro Musical'. GeneralMusic bought out Elka in the early1990's (I got most of this company info from MitaTechs). I've never seen a Galanti, but did hear from an owner of one whodescribed it as 'bright blue and really sick sounding'.

The first fewmodels listed here all appear to have virtually the same features,which are almost identical to those of the Vox Jaguar. Unlike theJaguar, however, many(most? all?) of these have only a single 'footage'available, unlike the Jaguar, which provides different mixtures of 16',8' and 4' at various parts of the keyboard (see 'Jaguar' in the Vox section). The Bass Chords feature, however, does seem to operate on the Gem'sexactly like it does on the Jaguar, adding polyphonic treble voices tothe keys in the bass section, with the lowest key pressed sounding abass note in as well. This is a rather unusual feature for comboorgans, which leads me to suspect that the Gem's are somehow related tothe Jaguar. Other than the fact that they're both Italian (likeabout 3/4 of all combo organs!) I don't know what that relationshipis. The Jumbo, Mini, Mini-Deluxe and Gemini all seem to beespecially close cousins, sharing the above traits, plus the straight,furniture-style legs, and a built-in amp with speaker ontop.

Model-P

A Jaguar with reverse-color (i.e., normal) keys? Well, notquite, but they do seem to share many common traits. This has gotto be the most common Gem around. For a long time, I didn't evenknow what the model name was (neither did anyone else!). But I'vesince seen 2 or three nameplates, all with with 'P' shown as the modelname.

Controls:

Knobs: On/Off, Bass Volume and Vibrato Speed.
Tabs: Vibrato, Bass Chords,Flutes, Reeds, Strings, Horns

Here's a sample ofthe sound: Gem Organ.wav Not a bad soundinglittle organ, really.

Also see SandroOliva's GEM web page for some nice pictures of his Model P

And here's a neatadvertising flyer I picked up on eBay. I don't know what dateit's from:

The Model P also appearedunder the 'Briscoe' name. Never heard of them, but it'sobviously a GEM with a different nameplate:

Apart from the 'Briscoe'nameplate, and the ID badge, it's identical to the GEM Model P, stand andeverything. The ID badge, (which is a bit fuzzy in the picture), placesBriscoe Music in Vancouver, BC, and proclaims the model name to be'CHORD', no kidding, just 'CHORD' (those crazy Canadians!). I guess they didn'tfeel like trying to top 'Model P' (which wouldn't have taken mucheffort, anyway).

(Thanks to Lorne for thepictures)

Jumbo

Similar to the 'Model-P' above, with a red topand black bottom, but has reverse-colored keys, so its' even more likea Jaguar, plus the obligatory built-in amp and speakers, and screw-onlegs. The top has a metal panel on the front, like a Jaguar, that says'Jumbo Gem' on the left, and has numbers (1-29) above all the naturalkeys, and a '+' above all the accidentals, and says 'Transistor' on theright. The nameplate for this guy says 'Model J'.

(The Jumbo is the one at the back - thanks to Kirk for thispicture and the ones below)

Controls:

Tabs: Vibrato(Red), Bass Chords(White),Horns(Yellow), Strings(Blue), Reeds(Green), Flutes(Purple)
Knob: Volume/Power

Tabs - looks almost exactly likethe Mini and one of the Gemini's

The Jumbo and Gemini packed andready to go. The Jumbo looks like a slimmed-down FarfisaCompact, doesn't it?

And here we see a slightly different version ofthe Jumbo. Aside from the 'normal' color keys, and somewhat smaller speaker grille, it has an additional knob, for Vibrato Speed (thanks to Izzy for the pictures, and Frank for identifying the extra knob)

Jumbo 61

This appears to be much more than just a 61-key version of the'Jumbo' (above). The panel above the keyboard reads: 'Jumbo 61 GEMR6'.

Here's a short description from the owner of the one pictured::

'...very good sounds and a really fast vibrato, it has only8 tones but if you combine it it sounds as good as an Hammond'

He says his was built in 1974.

Then this impression, submitted by a visitor from Finland:

'A friend of mine owns one, but it'smanufactured in Sweden under the brand Viggen Jumbo 61. It doesn'tsound anything like a Hammond, but you can get some weird eerie soundswhen combining percussion & straight voices and adding a slowvibrato'
