"Really cool early keyboard by EKO - I believe these were manufactured by the same Italian factory that produced VOX Keyboards of the same era. Makes some really nice Analogue and Hammond style sounds especially with the Wah-Wah function turned on..."
.5 Voices; Flute, Horn, Reed, String, Brass
.Effects: Vibrato (very cool), Vibrato Delay, Wah Wah, Attack, Sustain.
.Standard Keyboard Rhythm Section/Drum Patterns (sounds pretty interesting through an amp).
.Made in the same Italian factory as VOX in 1970s."
via the seller: "I could sit and play this thing for hours and hours. One of the best features is the adjustable sustain, very useful. The Wha-Wha switch is awesome too!"
Sam Battle, aka LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER closes out the year with his cathartic new single Time Is Not A Healer It’s A Fuel for Resentment. The latest release from the renowned musician, innovator and maker is an upbeat melancholic indie ballad that finds him at his most contemplative.
"This is a song I have been humming for a while, I initially made up the riff when making the furby organ, and played it in the furby organ video but to me it was always this song I was playing. I wrote it in a lonely place in me life, no idea what it’s actually about but I have my ideas haha! Only sad times you can write tunes like this I think! I made it on my home made synth and an
old analog polyphonic synth to make it fit with my other tunes even though this one is a tad more on the emotional end of it all."
Speaking about the accompanying video, Sam says:
"We went to the woods at sunrise but we just missed it because I spent an hour in the morning trying to figure out a bow tie. We shot it to make it look as believable as we could it being a low budget music video from 1986 including power stances and arm waves. All the good stuff"
Note the listing has it as Eco, but it's actually Eko. This is a preset organ synth. Click the bottom pic to see the preset sounds and controls.
"Eco Encore model 49-P working condition with in built speaker and socket at rear for pedal volume. It has the music rest missing and also a tube that was between the two support legs missing however no detriment to the instrument not working and these can be easily remade from either wood or metal. This instrument has a great sound and very rare to find these days. It is showing some signs of wear obviously due to age etc. ( 1970's) good luck with your bidding ! ps. post to u.k. only and would prefer collection due to weight and size"
