Sarah Masen (album)
''Sarah Masen'' is the first major-label studio album by the singer/songwriter Sarah Masen, released on June 25, 1996. It is her second album, overall. Critical reception Rodney Batdorf of AllMusic writes that, "Sarah Masen's self-titled album showcases her emotional, moving vocals, as well as her evocative lyrics." and finishes with, "the album suggests that she'll blossom into one of the most creative and lovely CCM talents of the latter-half of the '90s." This album peaked at no. 27 on October 12, 1996 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums. Jan Willem Vink writes in his ''Cross Rhythms'' interview with Masen that, "There's something more compelling about Sarah Masen than the simple fact that she's the first artist to be signed to Charlie Peacock's new label Re:Think. In fact, her self-titled album needed only a few of Charlie's wide range of production twists to expose its class."

The harmonica, also known as a French harp or mouth organ, is a free reed wind instrument used worldwide in many musical genres, notably in blues, American folk music, classical music, jazz, country, and rock. The many types of harmonica include diatonic, chromatic, tremolo, octave, orchestral, and bass versions.

Multiple models have been produced, most of which use sliding #Drawbars, drawbars to vary sounds.

The organ is commonly used with the Leslie speaker. Around two million Hammond organs have been manufactured. The organ was originally marketed by the Hammond Organ Company to Church (building), churches as a lower-cost alternative to the wind-driven pipe organ, or instead of a piano.

Sound is generated by striking a metal reed with a hammer, which induces an electric current in a pickup. It is conceptually similar to the Rhodes piano, though the sound is different. The instrument was invented by Benjamin Miessner, who had worked on various types of electric pianos since the early 1930s. The first Wurlitzer was manufactured in 1954, and production continued until 1983. Originally, the piano was designed to be used in the classroom, and several dedicated teacher and student instruments were manufactured.
