Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] ID The Keyboard?

Thanks - it definitely is - so the really stupid question:  How hard are these to come across these days?  Are samples the route to take,  or a low end synth with a rough and ready chorus pedal?

It's a Solina, I think.

Here's a clip of Bowie on the Tonight show in 1980 - can someone tell me what the top keyboard is?  It has the shitty paneling look of a chamberlin (which Bowie had), but doesn't look big enough to be an M1.  It sounds cool to me, but is probably some kind of synth or low rent organ.  I have no idea if it is, but it sort of looks like Carlos Alomar playing it.
