The Philicorda is an electronic organ first produced in the 1960s by Philips. It was Philips' first entry into musical instruments and targeted the home market.
== History == The Philicorda came out of the Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium in Eindhoven, under Tom Dissevelt and Dick Raaijmakers, who worked on electronic music and electronic musical instruments; it was here that the prototype of the AG7400 organ was produced.
