great documentation ! but let me know if the sounds we hearing at the docu-videos coming original out of the Telharmonium ???

thanx

I can imagine the sound being like early organs ,really basic and raw ..I could imagine though it sounding better than music through a phone line ! A recording would be sublime ..

Fascinating documentary as I had not heard of this instrument before. Thanks for posting.

Ahh!!! If the'the notes were clear...' , then why did you garble it up!

[TaterGumfries]

The Hammond organ, leastwise the old ones like the B3, were tone wheel jobs, so the Telharmonium probly sounded a little like that.

It CAN'T just be me, this story is SCREAMING OUT; MUSICAL Theatre piece!!!!!

Very interesting documentary, I thoroughly enjoyed it. :D

[Fergophone]

What an absolutely fascinating documentary, thank you for posting it.

I think the voices could have done without the distortion, but the documentary was quite interesting. :)

Even the Moog, with its magnetic tapes, is based on magnetic induction. One could argue that if the telharmonium's rotor faces were formed in such a way as to reflect, as they passed the stator, the varying magnetic waveform of the recorded signals on a moog tape, it could produce some of the simpler sounds.

[trylonperisphere]

I think you mean the Mellotron used magnetic tapes.

[antienjigglement]

Yes, that's right. The Melllotron is what i meant.

[antienjigglement]

Various tone-wheel organs and synths are/were (50's to 70's) based on this magnetic induction concept. They used amplifiers to boost the tiny signals made by magnetic pickup heads over small rotating drums having metal teeth rather than the Telharmonium's brute force generation of the music signals.

I don't think so. As far as I know it's part of the forgotten sound world now :(

[wurlitzermad]

Are there any recordings of what this thing actually sounded like ? would be amazing to hear what it sounded like

[audiolemon]

As far as I know there are no known audio recordings of the Telharmonium.... tis a pity.

suena como a clavicordio de johann sebastian bach, quizá el lo hubiese utilizado magistralmente, lamentablemente murió 170 años antes a 1880

[betowrk1]

Uno de los primeros instrumentos para producir música electrónicamente, un parteaguas en la historia del arte, en partícular de la música!

según algunas estimaciones tenía una longitud de 200m cuadrados

suena chido !
