seems there was something even earlier. I just recently heard
about this thing for the first time:<br>

No idea whether this can be called DIY, some dude at a music
school did that.<br>

Unlike for the history of electronic music <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://120years.net/"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://120years.net/</a>,
apparently<br>
there's not much documentation specifically for the
history of DIY<br>
electronic music equipment. I have some questions, if
I may.<br>
<br>
How to define SDIY - it's not just exclusively synths,
amateurs making<br>
electronic music circuits as opposed to plugging
together ready-made parts?<br>
When did SDIY begin and how has it developed over
the years? Especially<br>
since the invention of semiconductors but before then
should also be<br>
included. What were the significant moments and who
were the pioneers along<br>
the way?<br>
<br>
Bob Moog sold Theremin kits in the 1950s. Guitar
pedals began development in<br>
the 1960s. Before this there were guitar amplifiers
with effects built in,<br>
and earlier still people used magnetic tape. The PAiA
FAQ states that the<br>
1970s were busy, the 1980s were quieter, (with the
hobbyists being<br>
distracted by PCs) and that interest picked up again
in the 1990s. PAiA has<br>
been producing synthesizer kits since 1972.
Electronotes started in 1972.<br>
Various magazine articles by authors such as Tim Orr,
John Simonton, Don<br>
Lancaster, Craig Anderton, etc. give some sort of
indication. The earliest<br>
DIY electronic music instrument books seem to be from
the early to<br>
mid-1970s.<br>
<br>
How to distinguish what's SDIY from R&D? Obviously
the pioneers and<br>
inventors like Harald Bode and Kraftwerk had to DIY;
does this get ignored?<br>
Does it begin with the electro-magnetic Helmholtz
resonator?<br>
