EMSA -- Electronic Music Studios of America


via David:

"Peter Forrest's post to AH about EMSA led me to do a little digging. I lived in Amherst, MA, years after EMSA but still love the area. Anyway, Everett Hafner's (owner of EMSA) daughter put up a page about him, including a seriously photo-laden picture of EMSA stuff"

Update: Be sure to check out the EMSA link below for all posts featuring EMSA - there are only a few including this one, however there is some fascinating history including the Ionic Performer.

    Wow! Visited the "store" a couple of times. Downstairs of a furniture store as I remember. I was impressed how he took time out of his schedule to show me around. Even let me fiddle with one of his Moogs. Long live him and EMSA.

    I worked there in the early '70s while also a student at Hampshire college. I was responsible for repairs and modifications. Eventually I designed and delivered the "Synthivibe" - A duophonic keyboard which functioned as a Vibraphone.
