This is the middle organ solo in the 2nd movement, a near approximation to how it sounded during Deep Purple's first recording of their Concerto; Sep 24, 1969. I have tried my best to faithfully copy the original organ solo, as I heard it.

Back in August 2020, I recorded the Concerto Organ solo on a Hammond XK-1c, single manual organ keyboard. Now 3 years later, I record it on a Hammond XK-5, double manual keyboard, and I think the results came out better.

If nothing else, the second manual offers a little more freedom and room for both hands, on separate manuals.
