The Wersi Classica W3SK was a hybrid type instrument, in that it attempted
to accommodate classical organ needs, yet was still provided with the popular 'entertainment' organ
features, such as drawbars, the Wersivoice, and the Piano Group. Unlike the standard entertainment
style organs, the Classica featured a polyphonic pedal section and an expanded array of both pedal
drawbars and fixed stops.
