"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clavioline
The Clavioline was the basis for the Vox / Jennings Univox. Invented in 1947 it is one of the very first electronic instruments, a monophonic synthesizer based on all-valve circuitry. A portable unit with its own valve amplifier and 10" speaker, it is also possible to use this mounted underneath a piano keyboard. The Clavioline is capable of some really out-there sounds. Famously used on "Telstar" by The Tornados (Joe Meek), it was also Sun Ra's signature instrument."
