Name the Synths: Flight of the Concords edition

Post by garranimal » Wed Feb 25, 2009 1:47 am

Two spry-looking delicious synths in the engineers booth. Bonus for the organ in the recording chamber.

Hmm. I dunno. But in the episode I saw last week, I'm pretty sure they had a Wurlitzer in their apartment.

Top synth looks like an ARP String Ensemble. The other looks like a double manual organ. It looks like it may say "ELKA" between the manuals.

The organ in the recording booth is probably a Hammond - but I don't know organs nearly as well as I know synths.

Can't see the synths very well, but the organ looks like a Hammond M-3.

Not sure about the boards either. I liked the akward episode of where they get held up and the robbers befriend them towards the end. Too much candy on that show.

Yeah, that has to be an ARP/Solina string ensemble. The keyboard underneath looks like an Elka X-55 portable organ, the same model as used by Claudio Simonetti of Goblin back in the '70s.
