Barry Morgan is the eponymous character in Barry Morgan's World of Organs, a stage show based on a fictional electronic organ salesman from Adelaide portrayed by Australian musician and comedian Stephen Teakle.

Background

Campari-drinking[4] Morgan owns Barry Morgan's World of Organs, a fictional, kitsch organ emporium in Adelaide's Sunnyside Mall.[3][5] He plays a 1981 Hammond Aurora Classic organ[1] through a Leslie speaker, and demonstrates the organ's abilities as a synthesizer, the Auto Vari 64 (for adding variation to the accompaniment) and the Zither arpeggiator.[1] He is the proponent of the "one finger method" to control his organ's accompaniment section.[4]
