SN 00807 via this auction
"It was made in 1966 by joh mustad ab of sweden. It was one of the first synthesyzer/electronic bass organ type instruments of its kind.... It is a very strange looking instrument its long and tube shaped with a keyboard and buttons and knobs on the other end. It measures about 32" long and is about 5" around and comes in its original case and has its original strap. It ran off three batteries and has a place to plug it into a amp or speaker."

That's the coolest, most kitchtastic design I've seen in a long time. Surely some set designer could use this in a Logan's Run remake or something?
ReplyDeletei'm pretty sure this is the bass sound on Ruckzuck, by Kraftwerk.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are completely right. They used this thing on their first two albums and on stage. You can see Ralf Hütter playing it at Rockpalast 1970. :)
