The Chamberlain - before the mellotron

[Circuitbenders]

Oh YES, its the most mental instrument ever. http://www.sonicstate.com/articles/article.cfm?id=101#



'The Chamberlin is an early tape playback unit, with a separate tape and tape head for each note on the keyboard, a predecessor to the famous Mellotron - but this one is special - it's got MIDI.'

Ridiculouisly long tape loops on that bastard. Check out the video link, for want of a better phrase, thats some ill shit!.

That is very possibly one of the best things i've ever seen. 

Those demo mp3's are incredible, especially seeing as that beast was originally built in 1938.And a lovely bit of furnature as an added bonus.

Where can i get one of those?
