I think they're great. He wanted to created 9 pre-set combinations, a cancel (to clear everything), and a button to activate each set of drawbars, and what better way than to create another octave of keys, and reverse the color. The first time I ever saw a Hammond organ, I thought I was looking at an organ that had 2 6-octave manuals, but when I took a closer look, I noticed what they were. Mind you, most of the Hammonds around here have none of those labels left. Thank God I had the foresight to write them all down when I did mange to find an organ that still had them all.
