Cheap & cool gear alerts
We spend a lot of time searching for unusual vintage keyboards, electronic pianos, organs and other instruments. We find far more interesting instruments than we could ever bring into our own shop.
Members get access to selected listings we’ve found and decided to pass along. These picks are informed by over 15 years of experience in purchasing worthy instruments that other people overlooked. We share our thoughts on what makes them interesting, what we’d look out for, and why we think they’re worth considering.
These are instruments being offered by independent sellers, not Tropical Fish inventory. Availability, condition and purchase arrangements are entirely between you and the seller. We can’t guarantee that any particular listing will remain available.

Added November 11, 2026 Lowrey Wandering Genie - $85 Coventry, RI - A cool organ that is the smallest in the Genie line. This one has a built in speaker, and is partially covered in carpet! I doubt this will last long.
Why we like this listing: It looks like it is in incredible shape, the acrylic music rack is looking mint, and it seems 100% functional. A true closet find, at a great price.
Added November 11, 2026Silvertone 4782 Reed / Tube Organ - $30 Brockport, NY - This tiny organ has a fan unit that keeps the reeds playing, but it is constructed so the unit is quiet especially when you mike the speaker perfectly. Also this has a tube amp to further amplifier the sound!
Why we like this listing: It looks pretty mint. This is a very light weight organ, that looks great wherever you put it in the studio, and it sounds great too!
Added November 11, 2026Baldwin Fun Machine - $25 Huntingdon, PA - We love a good Fun Machine (Baldwin bought Wurlitzer, so this is ‘Fun Maker’ technology). This one also has a cool space age look with plexiglass and lights.
Why we like this listing: This appears to be in great shape, and the living room setting tells us it was well stored. The ‘Fun Machine’ is loved for its variety of interesting sounds and general vibe.
