  1. RE: beige.party/@fuzzy/11680364449

    The 1970s. Early childhood. I remember occasional home visits from a blind piano tuner.

    We also had a Farfisa electric organ. Then, in my early teens, I occasionally played a Hammond organ (badly) at a pub on Canvey Island. Tremolo involved some colossal thing rotating, I guess that it was a Leslie speaker <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_s>.

    In my late teens, a Hohner Clavinet. Nice idea, but it was so heavy that when I sulkily quit a band, during rehearsal, I had to pay a passing schoolchild fifty pence to help me carry it to a bus stop.

    Now: my sister and her husband adore their grandchildren, who enjoy playing piano. They also discarded a traditional upright piano, non-electric, years before the grandchildren were born.

    I still have my grandparents' piano, which hasn't been tuned since the 1970s. It needs to go, I doubt that it's saleable, I'll probably have to pay a team of four people to take it for scrap metal.

    Fifty years later: in the absence of traditional pianos to tune, what profession might the same blind person choose? Would it involve AI? I wonder.

    I'm nostalgic about the past, but future technologies have been making traditional stuff redundant for decades.

    With regard to the piano tuning profession: I'm a number one offender, because I never bothered to pay someone.

  3. @tonalux I‘ve had a Dynacord CLS-222 on the desk for service recently. It‘s a 19“ Leslie simulator and I really enjoyed listening to rotating single tracks like vocals, or complete mixes. It covers two independent frequency ranges, or "speakers" and sounds really well. Since it‘s relatively cheap I consider this a secret weapon.

  11. I watched a TPS espisode today about rotary cabinet pedals, and it got the sound in my head.
    I remembered Greg Koch gets that kind of sound with a Jam chorus pedal, so I set my e/c/f pedal to do that. Fast, shallow modulation, short end of 500ms range, regen and mix at noon.
    Boiyoiyoiyoiyoing!

  15. Zu verschenken an Selbstabholer*innen/Bastler*innen

    #Hammond-#Orgel mit #Leslie in #Ehrenfeld / #Köln
    Steht seit fast 20 Jahren hier...und langsam vermute ich der Besitzer holt sie nicht mehr ab.

    Leider ist das Tonewheel beschädigt, seit eine Filmcrew hier war und das Ding - ohne zu fragen - bewegt hat...

    D.h. zur Zeit geht nur der Rhythmusteil.
