"Currently only 22 know to exist, worldwide.
Maestrovoxes were built in the United Kingdom by Victor Harold Ward in the 1950s. They were intended to be bolted under a piano.The pianist could play the piano with the left hand, the maestrovox with the right (and control its volume with his/her knee). The round buttons are an early form of preset. The 6 red buttons provide presets from a violin & trumpet to bagpipes & an arabian flute.
They belong to the family of tube based synth/organs... in the style of the Clavioline and Solovox.. the forerunners of todays' Synthesizer"
