Elton John- Harmony

[marcov193]

I originally remember seeing this on one of those late night "Rock Concert" or "Midnight Special" shows way back when. One of Elton's best tunes.

What a fantastic clip. As it began I began to wonder what synthesizer he could have been playing that sounded so much like a pedal reed organ.  Thank you for posting this.

[razorface31]

what instrument is he playing?

[ajpianoman1]

@razorface31 I was wondering the same thing at first. I did a little bit of researching, and it's most likely some kind of primitive synthesizer; using electrical signals to simulate the sound of an organ.

@ajpianoman1 If you notice Elton's feet they are pumping.....he's playing what is called a reed organ or parlour organ....it sounds much like an accordion.....and they were often called "harmoniums".......thats my take on it anyhoo....
