Sort of an 1890's Birotron, then? (Take it from me, lay off the "snow.")

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