Electrontc Organ (E/P) : Iun Horloots HR DN Hlcilmontal

This document describes an electronic organ circuit that can be built as a toy for children. The circuit uses two transistors configured as an oscillator to produce musical notes from a small speaker when different keys on a keyboard are pressed. Each note can be adjusted using a trimmer potentiometer. The circuit can be powered by batteries or a 3-6 volt supply and housed in the same box as the keyboard.
