The ELKA seen here is a Rhapsody 610. TD (Baumann and Franke used them very much from the time they hit the market (1975 on. And Franke even used it in the very early eighties. This is one of the more affordable instruments TD used very much.

Hi Till,
ReplyDeleteThe Elka Rhapsody 610 most likely hit the market in early 1974, possibly even in 1973.
Here's a live pic of Vangelis seen with one at the Olympia, France Feb 1974:

Other prominent users of this classic stringer besides TD were Billy Currie of Ultravox who used it on U-Vox's first three albums, Tim Blake (with Hawkwind and on his first solo album "Crystal Machine", 1977), Supertramp, Klaus Schulze (Timewind, 1975), Jarre (it's to be seen in studio and live pics from '78 and '79) and last but not least Vangelis (eg Ignacio (1975) Heaven and Hell (1975) Albedo 0.39 (1976) etc.
