zxcvbnm098 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 My guess is someone acquired this and looked up "Pro-73", which a google search shows as "Hammond Pro-73", which this is clearly not, but listed it as such. It looks like something from the 70's, either an electronic or electro-mechanical piano. I'm old enough to remember the 70's, but this doesn't look familiar.

sagetunes Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Just out of curiosity, I'm want to check it out. I'm intrigued. It clearly is not Hammond--I have typed in RMI, Vox, Univox, Hohner, Cordovox, Yamaha, Viscount, Oberheim, Farfissa, Gibson, Kustom, Baldwin, Kawai, Roland, Crumar...NOTHING! The internet has never heard of this board.

zxcvbnm098 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 The GEM lead might be close. This one has some similar traits, although not the same model. The case looks the same shape as the one one in the FB, and they both use sliders? https://reverb.com/item/897545-vintage-1970s-galanti-gem-instapiano-synthesizer-keyboard-w-original-stand-and-bag-made-in-italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Whatever it is, it's got two pianos, a harpsichord, vibrato speed and amount (?) and bass and treble - all on sliders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Williams Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Well, I've just asked (PM'd) the seller why he thinks it's (1) a Hammond and (2) an organ. Lessee if he responds.

EscapeRocks Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Good luck: Blk Amigo (Babii boii), the seller, just joined FB in April, and has very odd postings. Also, the fact that each of the photos he posted in this listing don't show the entire thing is the biggest red flag. 1 Quote David Gig Rig:Roland Fantom 08 | Roland Jupiter 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathOfInsects Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 No matter what brand that thing ends up being, it will be closer to Hammond than the condition of that thing is to "Used-Like New."

timwat Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Logan Electronics of Italy apparently made what Hohner distributed as the Hohner String Melody in the late '70s. I guess (from the back plate) they also made this attempt at an electronic piano. 1 Quote .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscapeRocks Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Yeah. I’ve just gone down that rabbit hole. I found those other instruments they made but can’t find this one. It is entirely possible the seller was told Hohner, when he got it and if he doesn’t know instruments, thought Hammond. Now I’m curious. This is my evening quest… to follow that star…..no matt.. sorry my add has me in its grips tonight 😎 Quote David Gig Rig:Roland Fantom 08 | Roland Jupiter 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxcvbnm098 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It does say on the back "LE/Logan", and the next to it is the city in Italy Logan was based (Portorecanati Italy), and then below that "MOD: Electronic Piano". So it appears to be a Logan Electronic Piano, model Pro-73. The serial number says 146, so I would assume they didn't make many. Based on the Hohner String Machine find above, it's an easy assumption that this possibly was licensed or sold to some other company who badged it with their name. Territories? Could be anywhere. I somehow ended up with this find on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/27415075-elgam-montreal-elgam-snoopy-electric-piano-harpischord-italian-keyboard-synth-logan This looks to me like it would be a later manufactured keyboard, but I can see some similar things on this that show up on the Hammond from FB. Perhaps Marino or someone else here based in Italy might know the brand and story? None of these get anything on Google unfortunately.....

Well it is a known name, but i don’t really have actual info. The name in my memory is associated with low/medium end products, compared with the big names of the epoc lime Farfisa, Crb and Crumar. i also think i have already saw the keyboard, but it is a while ago Maurizio Quote Nord Wave 2, Nord Electro 6D 61,, Rameau upright, Hammond Pro44H Melodica.
