Hohner Little Lady

via Philippe Van den Berge

"I have stumbled here on a strange and unknown hohner keyboard. Unknown because I seem to find no information whatsoever about it. I have mailed hohner germany today, and i hope they will have some answers. On the other hand, they may not, so I thought about letting you know about it."

If anyone knows more about this one feel free to comment or email me. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site.

Update: DenDer wrote in to let me know this is for sale on synthforum.nl here. He will try to get some more info from the seller.

Update: description from the forum translated by DenDer:

"I have a Hohner Little Lady and it is a keyboard and not the harmonica. There is a built-in (analog) rhythm section which has the typical tango, swing, waltz beat in them. Thee sounds are very basic: Flute 16' Flute 8' Trombone 16' String 16' Clarinet 8' which can be used separately or together - say additive. He has a separate bass manual option, where the left half (first octave) accounts for the bass. Or automatically when the rhythm is running which Hohner calls "magic bass" Wooohoo!
There is an aluminum stand which strongly reminds me of a Yamaha CS80. There are also "wood side panels" present. The Little Lady also has a build in speaker on the underside of the case."

Update: you can find an mp3 via Philippe of the Little Lady here.

Update: pics of the inside added below.

Update: this was also branded as the SKYLINE FORTYNINE P. Thanks goes to David L for writing in to let us know!

HOHNER STRING PERFORMER SYNTHESIZER

via this auction
"Vintage 1980s Hohner String Performer synthesizer. This is an extremely rare synthesizer, and the same type of keyboard Moby used for his string sounds on almost all of his albums, giving you that huge fat sustained string sound. Sounds for this synth include Piano, Bass, Clavichord, Cello, Viola, Violin, Brass, String, Clarinet, Planet, and Octave setting. The Piano, Bass, Clavichord, Cello, Viola, and Violin have individual level faders for upper and lower registers, as well as, a sustain fader; and the Brass, String, Clarinet, and Planet sounds have a solo volume fader. The rear of this unit includes: General, Bass, Strings, Piano/Clav. Solo, Sustain Piano, and Footswell 1/4" inputs; and an 18volt power adapter input (power cord is included in this auction). This is a very cool German engineered synth that also doubles as a carrying case with a flip of the latches. This synth is extremely hard to find"

UBS: Sherman REstyler and Juno-G for live performance test.

YouTube via adoremotion
"Small test with the Juno-G with a very simple basic moog patch going into the sherman REstyler. This will probably be the main live keyboard setup for uncertain boxed saviour.
The Juno-G is also a great sampler ! Melody loop plays from the Juno-G's sequencer.

I've used a similar setup with a Jomox M-resonator but the input distortion isn't that good and too muddy. Sherman shines and blows the resonator away for this type of work: fatten digital synths.

White Willow...now with Thingamagoop Chaos

"This film was recorded at Roth Händle studos in Stockholm, Sweden. This is where I spend my days recording and producing artists...The studio started in my apartment and evolved slowly from there. This is the forth location of the studio. The first one obviously was at home...the second and third was at a abandoned shipyard outside of Stockholm. The studio works more or less in two ways either the artists come here to the studio or people send files that I work with...If you are curious to find out more about the studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu for more info, blogs and odd facts. Oh yes and now I am on facebook too with a dedicated roth händle site...I dont know how to link to it but you people are all so internet smart so you can find...if you want to.

Thanks for watching,
