Now THAT’S a nifty lo-fi pre-‘tron throw-back idea – put 35 wax cylinders on aconstantly spinning shaft, and have the keyboard actuate the setting of theneedle onto the groove – and the needle snaps back to the start of thegroove every time you lift the key….hmmmmm……Iguess you’d need 35 horns, too…….Can you imagine the soundscoming out of something like that?!?
