garage sale keyboard

[Papahitas]

Cool sound. Looks like a Bontempi 9 model.

[zckog]

great relief to the ears when it goes off

[friken0frank2]

it's like a bad ass accodian!

[Leadhead444]

This keyboard sounds like something Radiohead fooled around with on Kid A...very cool!!

[dirt0jumping]

ha ha I am getting one tomorrow

[dirt0jumping]

wow I used to have this same piano a long time ago, but mine had the bottom key colours switched

[ElPeneDeMuerte]

I would pay 5 dollars just for the beastie boys sticker

[Uzi2774]

Wow... I had one similar to that one, but it was more bulky and very heavy. It was my first keyboard ever. Dad bought it for ten dlls on a yard sale. Cool.

[SkeletinProductions]

got one from good will for 30 buck except much nicer with wood cabinet

[TheMiwaro]

nice i bought one for a few bucks myself at a yard sale but mine does not have the d or a chords

[namco21gamefreak]

I had one of those when i was a kid, SCARY noises from BONTEMPI lol

[cullyvan]

I got one of these today for 5 Bucks. Its fantastic, and normally I go for Korgs , Emus and Ableton. Its got a great soulful sound and if you run it through a few effects (flutter being a favourite of mine) its unbeatable. EQ out the fan ! cheers.

[imjustdope]

d00d, how much was this piece of crap.

[Geardos]

@imjustdope 5$ totally worth it

[AKsib2]

use some hairspray on the keys if you want the marker to come off, I got a caso MT- 100 for 50 cents and it had every key labeled with permanent marker... but it's gone now.

[MsMaestro00]

This takes me back to when I was a child! I had the same Bontempi. Even the sound it makes when you turn it on is so retro!

[angie4josh]

I found one on the side of the road in very good condition just this morning:)

[Geardos]

congrats.. the one I got was somewhat busted but it as a cool sound..

[kingofkeyboards]

haha when you played that bottom C key I laughed so hard at the sound it made. lol nice find

[Organgrinder010]

Cool! I have a smaller version that I also picked up at a sale. Unfortunately the entire thing seems to be tuned sharp.

[dragonflyNI]

I had the exact same one as a kid.

[cheetawolf]

lol at 2:36

its constipated :3

[frenfam4life]

I had the same piano! lol

[kyleismrsmiley]

SWEET! All this is, is a melodica, that ISNT powered by your lungs! :D :O

I MUST HAVE ONE OF THESE!!!!

[mantacoup]

i have orange one..... funny machine!

[Keijz74]

A harmonium-like thing I guess. Neat find.

[LaddyDongdegs]

So THAT's what it is! A reed organ! I saw a General Electric X4000N or something at Goodwill for $15...I was EXTREMELY, and I mean extremely, tempted to get it, but I ddidn't. It must have been 4x the thickness of yours.

[mooghammondb3]

Looks sort of like an ARP Pro Soloist

[mortson978]

That thing is dinged up pretty bad. My grandma has a wooden hammond chord organ in her kitchen, It has about sixty chords, twenty stops, and two pedals I love hammering out a nice song when I can finally find the correct chord to depress. The wood is perfect, no damage, but it takes a half minute to build up air, when you first start it.

[puppetpatti]

I've had one and I also know where there is one and the local junk store. I looked at it, but the guy wanted 25.00! I thought, hmmm, now I think I'l go get it anyway. It's smaller but could make for some fun stuff later on. Enjoyed your video...

[WurlyB4]

LOL, I own one of those ! If you mic it up and run it through some guitar pedals it can sound really cool ! Flanger, Phazer, etc..

[Kamen0]

haha man I used to have one of them when I was like 8, I'm really annoyed I got rid of it. You can make some awsome sounds with them. I even had a stand.

[NicholasMetzner]

too right you cant play.

[organfairy]

I bought one quite similar to yours once. However, I got rid of it because it was terrible out of tune. I have since bought another one (also slightly out of tune) for next-to-nothing. I use it in one of my videos here on YouTube.

[willbudberry]

At first I thought "crap"... an electric accordion/melodica type of thing. But as it turns out I really like what I heard at around 3:20.

The rather organic reed sound in combination with the monotonic sustain due to the electric blower in that thing has something to it.

Nice! :)

[HatchAngel]

Great to see another vid from you Geardos, keep it up!

[marc9334]

holy shit dude. 5 bucks is a steal. if i were you i would take it apart for fun and try some circuit bending to get different tones. if you dont need it that much. =/

[lolitaXcomplex]

you cant circuit bend an acoustic instrument! although ive been wondering what i could do to extend the tonal possibilities of mine (ive got the exact same thing except with less notes)

im thinking of adding in a spring reverb and contact mic, theres so much space inside itd be cool to add some digital delay or something and mount it in the top. just painted the sucker sky blue too and its beautiful!

[marc9334]

ohhh kay yeah my bad. sweet though
