The Jen Brio 61-P was probably launched at the same time as the Brito 49-P in 1972. They were Jen's first synthesisers. The Brio 61-P was apparently first released in the form of an organ in a piece of wooden furniture.

The Jen Brio 61-P featured a 61-key keyboard and drum/rhythm machine with built-in speaker, as well as a variety of knobs, buttons and faders to control layer volume, instrument type, accompaniment, and tempo. While it was most popular for cheesy string and ensemble vibrato tones, it also had synth Trombone, Trumpet, Clarinet, Oboe, Tibia, Piano, and Harpsichord presets.
