you have an Orchestron? wow! I didn't know they really still exist. The
images on the net that I found look like grainy b/w photos of flying
saucers, as if hardly anyone has ever really seen such an instrument. Would
you mind telling us about it? What kind of Orchestron is it? Can it do the
magic choir sounds that I've heard on ancient Kraftwerk, Popol Vuh, and Amon
Duul records?
