Selmer Clavioline

via this auction

"Selmer Clavioline Concert model... restored a couple of years ago and it is in perfect working order. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clavioline This is a portable unit with its own valve amplifier and 10" speaker,Normally used mounted underneath a piano keyboard, where volume is controlled by a knee operated lever, it can also be used on a stand. The Clavioline is capable of some really 'way-out' sounds. Instantly recognisable as the sound used on "Telstar" by The Tornados (Joe Meek), or The Beatles 'Baby You're A Rich Man'. Iit was also Sun Ra's signature instrument. "
