The other night, I saw a tiny bit of a terrible-looking film called Bloodhounds of Broadway. Madonna was singing in a 1920s bar. In the background was a violinist playing a violin with big metal horns poking out of the side. A bit of Googling reveals it was a Stroh Violin, invented in 1899 by Carl Augustus Stroh. It was developed for the early recording industry. Until around 1920, records were cut by the band standing around a large horn connected to a needle scraping the grooves into the master, and strings were hard to record. So Stroh removed the violin's sound chamber and replaced it with a brass (later aluminium) horn attached to the bridge. Later models also had a secondary horn, pointed at the player - probably the first monitor speaker in history. The Stroh should have died out completely in the '20s, but according to this page, they became popular in a small region of Transylvania called Bihor. Perhaps inevitably, Tom Waits uses a Stroh, as do The Kryonics. You can buy a new, Thai made Stroh for $408 from strohviolin.com (or $315 from their eBay shop).They offer this [mp3] unpromising sound sample to prospective buyers. More pictures at Elderly Instruments.

If you've been looking for a keyboard boombox ever since this post, eBay item #6196745637 is pretty much perfect. The seller says: "While it seems that most people regard this incredible piece of engineering as a boom box with a keyboard built in, I have used it more a synthesizer with a tape deck built in". Four days to go, $77. (thanks to Circuit Master, whose Get LoFi blog is ace)

For £19.95, this site will sell you a kit to build a working organ made out of paper, with 8 pipes and a punched-paper sequencer. This page explains how it works, and this page has big colour pictures of the pages before they've been assembled. By way of tribute, MT reader Tim writes: "I've found the following free

I've mentioned the apparently-dodgy Club of the Knobs before. But now they've posted some ace videos of an event they held in Lisbon last year, with an indian classical dancer triggering sounds from a huge modular synth. 'Destruction' is particularly good, but the best thing of all is the pony-tailed dude who wears white gloves before touching his synth. (Thanks Fmass)

OK, here are the answers to the Do you have any idea what synths actually sound like? test:
Zoom have been making cheap but function-stuffed digital guitar gear since about 1989, and they've sold millions of 505 pedals (which are now worth about £15). Their new top-of-the-range thing is the hideously named "G9.2tt" which has an good spec for £279: USB audio interface (which comes bundled with Cubase LE), XLR mic input with phantom power and two real valves. I'm assuming that the broken-looking thing on the right is the "3D control pedal." The black-and-silver styling could be a lot worse (bass players get red). There's also a £239 model with an equally silly name, similar USB interface but no XLR, and some sub-£100 cheapies.

Frogplays is a VST plugin designed for mastering use. With almost uncanny accuracy, it emulates the sound of your track being played at a large festival by an over-enthusiastic DJ. Who happens, in this case, to be a frog. It seems to have been designed by German coders Prodyon. [Download]. While we're here, it's probably only right to link to PSP Flight, the world's first (and only) VST game, designed so long ago that it's a bit too fast to actually play on my PC.

...because I don't. Znarf Electronix' Synthesizer-Hörtest is a very simple blind test for different synths. It has 46 sound files of different synths playing the same sequence. You have to guess which synth is which. It's really interesting, and I failed utterly. I was completely unable to even recognise synths I own myself. To see if Music Thing readers have better ears than I do, I borrowed some samples from their site and edited five of them into this [800k mp3] short file. The five synths are all mainstream, well known machines from big manufacturers. Some are analog, some are digital, some are software. They range in age from 1982 to the present day. They have a total value of about $4,000. Guesses in the comments, please. If anyone can even reliably spot which are analog and which are digital, I'll be impressed. I'll post the answers in a few days. And if you get into blind synth tasting, be sure to also visit Stefan Trippler and Georg Müller. (Pic via Synthmania)

Going through the increasingly entertaining Synth Pool on Flickr, I found this picture of the homemade synth played by Nick Collier from Pink Grease. It's huge and flat and very analog, with some kind of ribbon controller instead of a keyboard.
You can see another (very cool) creation here. It seems he was helped out by Pete Hartley, a Sheffield legend who runs a little shop, Hartley Electric Music, that makes and repairs all kinds of stuff. Pete sold synths to Cabaret Voltaire and the Human League, then apparently went on to design the Simmons-based drum kit which Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen used after losing his arm. Several websites also claim he built the guitar amp that Eddie Van Halen used to record the solo on 'Beat It', which seems unlikely. Perhaps they're getting him confused with Hartley Peavey...
Love Is Music is an eBay store selling great-looking plexiglass guitars. They do a Strat, a Les Paul and a mini Flying V for $110 to $160.

Tenori-On is a new Yamaha prototype. It's a "personal digital instrument for playing sound and ambient light patterns." It has 256 light-topped buttons, stereo speakers, a scroll wheel, a few more buttons built into the frame, and some wireless function, so multiple Tenori-Ons can jam together. Looks awesome. Not many details, yet, but judging from the sine-wave blips on the Japanese Product Page, it could be the modern day Triadex Muse. More details at: WMMNA and Siggraph.

So, two string basses are everywhere. This is Stig Pedersen from Danish former-hair-metal band D-A-D, with one of his custom-made basses. Seems like the late Mark Sandman from Morphine also played two-string, but didn't have a custom bass and is somehow less entertaining than Stig, who in these pics has the distinct advantage of looking suspiciously like Owen Wilson in Zoolander. Fantastically bizarre Japanese custom bass builders Atlansia
made this full-on two stringer (more from their site soon, I think), but there is more. Jens Ritter was commissioned to build a double neck single string bass, but there don't seem to be any pictures online. Anyone?

There really hasn't been much of note from Summer NAMM. There's Ableton Live 5 (good but dull, $99 upgrade). But no new synths, no cool new effects, no amusing Behringer outrages. So, here are three new guitar pedals:
I've been put off posting about the M-Audio Microtrack portable recorder because it's covered in that horrible silver plastic and all you can see in every pic is a bunch of phono plugs. But now it's official, and I guess it's pretty cool. Seems to be about the size of an slightly pudgy iPod, with phantom power, 24/96 recording and a lithium battery that lasts 8 hours (3 with phantom power), all for $499. I still don't understand why it can't look more like this... (via Harmony Central, or previously and more entertainingly, Create Digital Music)

But step forward reknowned, er, guitarist, Bono out of U2, who has helped Gretsch (now a division of Fender who manufacture guitars in Japan) to design the Bono Irish Falcon a hideous guitar* in Oirish green with "The Goal is Soul" written on the side, costing $4,500. Target market? Theme pubs, maybe?

Item 7338442083 is a very rare and culty Ionic Performer, which is - roughly speaking - a EMS VCS3 built into a huge keyboard for the American market (it seems to have been a rip-off produced by EMS' former US dealership). So, Britain got a tiny, beautiful, wood-encased thing with a fantastically complicated matrix patchbay, and America got a big keyboard covered in red buttons and a manual which declared 'no talent required'. This one is apparently not in perfect condition ("It hisses like a Madagascan cockroach most of the time"), but is currently just $71. To learn more about the Performer, or download a VST emulation, visit this fantastic page. (Thanks Blake)

A few years ago, New Zealand bass player and Nissan enthusiast Cary Moore had this bass built, based on a Rodney Matthews painting - or as he puts it "copied from a poster of aliens playing far out instruments live on Mars". But unlike the bass in the poster, Cary's bass only has two strings: "The E and the A string is all a bass player should need to do the job properly,If you want to play fancy stuff on the skinny strings then you should be playing lead guitar.I also have another standard bass that I have pulled the d and g strings off the guitar but it has no impact live like this beast."

Module Records Blog has a nice report on options for hardware speech synthesis (this is following on from the singing robots post). For $150 you can buy a complete TextSpeak module, which takes the output from a PS2 keyboard and turns it into speech. $1,995 (!) gets a VoiceNote mPower QT, which does the same sort of thing, but presumably much better. But the cool option is Speakjet - a one-chip speech synth. Just $55 gets you the Speakjet development kit (including the chip). It's a circuit board with switches and LEDs and a battery and a speaker output, plus various analog and digital ins and outs. Stanley from Module Records has one and says: "The chip sounds very good with delicious robotic feeling. I plan to make a computer controlled musical speech synthesizer with it, so stay tuned..." He won't be the first: Here [mp3] is a demo of a SpeakJet chip being controlled by a modular synth (using a PSIM module).

A German designer calling himself Seppoman has built a Midibox control system into a sofa. If two people are sitting down, they can output three control values each - left and right buttock weight and how far the person is leaning back. Obviously, the possibilities are pretty much endless. If you've got shares in keyboard manufacturers, sell them now. [More info]. Previously, Seppoman built this incredibly cool rackmounted Commodore 64 SID synth.

I'd love to see the design brief for this [item #7337782340] bass guitar. "We want something acoustic, but yet heavy metal. Maybe a wooden outline, but kinda rock-looking? And it's got to have lighting-flash inlays, dude!". Amazingly, this isn't a one-off custom horror but a production guitar - there are plenty more. Still, it's only $135, so who am I to complain?

If you've got ten minutes to spare today, make some time to watch Multiple Sidosis. It's a short, home-made film by Sid Laverents in 1969. It opens with Sid on his birthday morning, being given an Akai M8 reel-to-reel four-track by his wife (who shows that mixture of distain, confusion and mild concern that will be familiar to any married gear-head). Sid disappears upstairs to play with his new toy, and discovers it has a sound-on-sound function. He rummages round the house for noise-making devices (a banjo, an ocarina, a jaw's harp, champagne bottles filled with water, a cymbal hanging from a mic stand) and records a fantastic multi-track opus. It will fill your heart with joy!
If you can get past the desperately pretentious amateur sociology ("the super-structure of its cultural context is dramtically reconsidered"), Bassline Baseline, Nate Harrison's short video history of the TB303 is quite entertaining. On the same site, Can I get an Amen? is a really interesting history of the Amen break. Just try to avoid the horrible truth that it's actually an 'installation' - a radio show accompanied by a film of a spinning SL1200 and a bald guy in a gallery. (Thanks Tommy and Peter K)

Summer NAMM starts on Friday, so expect a steady stream of mildly interesting new products over the next few days. First up is the Memory Lane analog delay pedal from Diamond Pedals. It seems very cool. It's the first analog delay I've heard of with tap tempo, and is built around vintage Panasonic memory chips. At $429, it looks like good competition for those new Moogerfooger delays, if you don't need the modular synth connections (or extra-long delay times). (via Harmony Central)

I was looking for some free singing speech-synthesis software the other day, reading this post from EM411. There doesn't seem to be much for PC, but Vocal Writer does the job very nicely for free ($39 shareware), and it's just been updated to OSX. Listening to this [mp3] sample of the thing singing 'Penny Lane' made my day, and I spent some time fiddling with it at work. It sounds almost exactly like a very badly edited spoken-word recording fed into a vocoder.

Who in their right mind wouldn't want to buy item #7337110362 - a hand built, heavily engraved, Wiard modular system controlled with two joysticks and a VU meter? Sure, you could plug in a keyboard (it's modular, so you could probably plug in the Space Shuttle if you had enough patch leads), but isn't the dual-joystick setup so much more chic? Best of all, it's serial number 1, of a limited edition of five built in 2004. The only problem? Bidding is currently $2,100 with three days to go. (Thanks Peter)

Dusseldorf developers Midimax sell specially-made hardware Minimoog controllers which should work with Arturia's Minimoog V, Creamware's Minimax, G-Media's Minimonsta, Steinberg's ageing Model E and so on. The keyboard version is €820, the desktop is €460 - but don't all rush at once, they seem to be out of stock. Creamware's Minimax ASB, looks very similar but actually makes the noises too, and costs $899.

It replaces the well-recieved SP-303 (here is a nice shot of Saul Williams' DJ playing live with just a SP-303 and a CD walkman), and revives a couple of features that were on the original SP-202 - battery power and a built in microphone for lo-fi on-the-go sampling. No price yet, but should be around £300. (via GearJunkies)

A German company called Manikin Electronic have announced they're about to produce the Memotron , "a digital remake of one of the most unusual and fascinating electronic music instruments". I'm all for gratuitous retro instruments, but this does seem strange. Isn't the wonderful Mellotron a very easy instrument to recreate electronically? It was just a tape player, so if you sample the tapes, you're there. G-Media's M-Tron does it very nicely for about £40 in software. As far as I can see, the Memotron is just a very basic sampler with an artificially limited interface and a teeny keyboard in a nice wooden box. There's no price yet, so maybe it's absurdly cheap - but I very much doubt it. If you've got the money, you can buy a real, new, Mellotron from Streetly Electronics.

If you saw Stevie Wonder at Live 8, hammering out 'Higher Ground' and 'Superstition' on a battered old Clavinet D6 and Boss AW-2 Auto Wah pedal, you'll know that we have a lot to thank Hohner for. The company was founded in 1857 and was the first to sell harmonicas. They made the harmonica Abraham Lincoln used to carry around, and gave Wally Schirra the tiny one he played on the Gemini IV spacecraft in 1965. But I'd never heard of Hohner's Guitaret. It was invented by Ernst Zacharias, who went on to develop the Pianet and Clavinet. The only English description I can find is this: "It's a kind of reed autoharp. It had buttons to select chords and a lever to activate the plectrum mechanism, and was intended to replace the rhythm guitar in dance bands" (via). It plugs into a guitar amp, and may sound a bit like an electric thumb piano. Now, one has turned up on German eBay item #7335307871. It comes in the original box, looks like it's in good nick, ships worldwide, accepts Paypal and is currently only €20. If you buy it, do let me know what it's like... UPDATE: Not THAT rare, perhaps: item #7337947775 is another one!

Imagine you've got all the money in the world, and you want to buy yourself a modular synth. Where do you go? Sure, a Buchla would be nice, but now they're getting so common, appearing in pop videos. No, you need a $24,341 CMS MR-24. Why? "They are hand built using only the finest materials available including military spec. potentiometers, knobs, and scratch/corrosive resistant front panel stock used by the US Navy... no chips whatsoever in the audio path. Many of our competitors say discrete - but the real truth is, their circuits are hybrid - meaning they use a combination of transistors, chips and some even use the dreaded "transistors- on-a-chip" devices, and try to claim discrete." Chris from Analog Industries says: "If you're a trust-fund baby and have gotten tired of spending your parents hard-earned money on cocaine and strippers, this is your instrument. The end of the road viz. modulars. It doesn't get any better."

My friend Alex just interviewed Ron & Russell Mael from Sparks, and managed to ask them a few questions about Giorgio Moroder: "The drums on their ace Moroder co-written and produced album 'Number One In Heaven' [sample Amazon review quote: "the electronic equivalent of Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell"] were not only all real, but played by Keith Forsey who went on to produce Billy Idol's big hits. ("He had a very steady right foot," said Ron Mael.) They said that Moroder was incredible in that they'd give him 20 songs and he'd reject 19 of them, which they found quite bruising to their egos but at the same time had to admire. They were also there when Moroder had the first ever Linn Drum delivered. They said they stood round going "it'll never replace the feeling of a real live drummer", but apparently Moroder just smiled enigmatically..."
