I was asked to do a video about Drawbar Settings. I have to say I thought it was rather difficult to choose which settings to show you and which not. And since it's not exact science some of the settings are alleged settings and not everyone agrees on what they should be. For most of the settings I use the same settings for the lower manual, because I am an organ player that plays bass with my left hand.

Of course I use my beloved Crumar Mojo.

I hope you like, share and subscribe!
