zxcvbnm098 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Wow, fascinating. I must admit that I don't ever recall seeing these in the wild back in the day, although I was pretty into keyboards and synths at this time in my early 20's. I wonder if these showed up in Europe but not so much in the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I"ve never seen one.

Dr Mike Metlay Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 It's not a real Teisco. Where's the Formica pickguard?

Threadslayer Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 It's not a real Teisco. Where's the Formica pickguard? I had one of these as a kid in the early '60s Formica pickguard and all. Had a little Teisco transistor amp too. In fact, I was so cool that I taped pennies to the back of the amp to get a poor man's fuzz box.

David Emm Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I've seen pictures of Teisco synths, but this is the best audio demo I've heard. Its one of THOSE instruments, often oddly seen in church basements, big 'swap meets' and the dusty back rooms of stores that mainly sell grandfather clocks and home organs. When he played that final stack mode, the real sound came out. Its clearly not broadly capable, but I'd love to sample those places where it speaks with authority.

Yeah they are moving away from the association with Grandfather clocks and have rebranded with a holding company that just trademarked the name "Most Randomly Fortunate Shiny Metal Award Pin Happy Keyboard Inc."

Mocking the outrage of people who get their knickers in a twist over perceived copying of industrial design should be encouraged at every turn. It"s funny! Laugh, you insufferable old grump! (Ok, the glissando slightly stepping was the best bit) It"s probably the best video we"re going to see about such an obscure 'board. And no-one else is ever going to research the weird arp patent issue so it"s educational too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
