I know a bit more about this now, there were 2 made
but the photo of the other one had pedals as well. I
assume this would costs $20-30000 or more. I
understand they had 1 inch 8 track tapes without a
cycling system so presumably it might work and be

Anyway, I have the orig. LP version of Ypsilon from the 70's.
As Ken Leonard indicated, it's mostly Tron on that version.
Not exactly a top-seller, but more an experiment with that instrument.

I first heard/saw a Chamberlin (M1) at Pierre Veilleux's Montreal

2000 at Toronto, when Chris Dale brought his M1 to the Workshop.
 

....Finally, in 2006 , Ken/I  saw/heard the   Music Master 600 in Boston.
Chamberlins'  sound quality is quite nice.    Original recordings plus the
high-qual. heads were a great combo.   However the 600's pkg'g. left much
to be desired. The M1 was designed as well as it could be for the time.
The Riviera will hopefully make a wonderful addition to someone's
collection/studio ....Add some more zeroes to that $1800.00 figure , FS-VA.
 

Speaking of caffeine, it's 0430 here and my day's just beginning.  -- JK

You didn't offend anyone.  Well, hopefully not unless we have some over sensitive souls tuning in.  The MKII can sound thin in it's raw state and Harry's recordings are gorgeous at times.  Character is the the issue here................

When did Nilsson use a Chamberlin? I only know of his Mellotron work on
'Nilsson Schmilsson' and 'Pussy Cats'. Or were they actually Chamby?

Okay, so he's socially clumsy AND has poor math skills. Like it or not,
he's still a part of the family...

And speaking of 2600's, mine is almost finished being freshly Cirocco-ized,
and I can't wait to set it up on the Morazotron and have some fun!
