I don't know how many of you or even if any of you subscribe too or read keyboard magazine. But they have a Keyboard of the Month. Where the showcase an unusual keyboard thet some one owns. Either an unusal on that someone found, or built themselves. I always look foward to the keyboard of the month becuse I like to see what people have or have created. Someday I would like to submit a keyboard to Keyboard Magazine to have as there keyboard of the month.

If anyone has a keyboard that they think should be in Keyboard's Keyboard of the month. Send a color photo and a description to Keyboard magazine.


I remeber seeing a Harpsichord built entirely out of Legos. Looked cool, but sounded horrible.

I had this BIG lesson typed up about "there" and "their", when it occured to me that this is the internet, and tears filled my eyes. I knew, just knew that it's no use. The English language is doomed! It will be replaced by a superior lanuage, namely that of Finnish, in a not so far future.

Also, the yellow Lego castle from 1977 is superior to any other toy..and I'm not saying that just because I used to own it.

The only weird board that I ever came across was the 1920's "Ondes Martinot". Not really the keyboard itself, but things like the "Palm", "Resonator" and of coarse first ever made ribbon control. Most of that stuff looks pretty impressive. Especially the "Resonator". I wish I could get a hold of one of those. It's suppose to be awsome for making all kinds of drones, gongs and other cool stuff. I think that's what they used in the first "Star Trek motion picture" to make the big gong like sounds/drones. Heavy stuff.

Hey Ed, Analog Systems makes a synthesizer based on the ondes Martonot Called the French Connection.

Big City Music sells them for $1,995.00

Hey tekminus,

I had this long letter written about the use of the words "to" and "too"... But I just couldn't bring myself to Finnish it! Peace <><
