Hi, all, I thought you might appreciate this documentation of someone restoring a Novachord Shocked ...the site takes a long time to load if you are on a dial-up, though, so be warned!

(as mentioned at Music Thing)

and happy new year!

I saw that! It was amazing. I thought that guy would never want to see the Novachord again after he finished with it, but it sounds fantastic! I guess I'll have to search for a lowly Novachord VSTi....

Conclusions:

1. - It's a synthesizer - Based on the old recordings I have heard, I was expecting a cross between an organ and a synthesizer. As you can hear from the sound files - It's a synthesizer!


it is ! The sound files are great.

It was an instrument so way ahead of it's time that nobody knew what to do with it.

I can't imagine listening to these sounds in 1937 Exclamation
