Magic Music From The Telharmonium Documentary 3

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.

I think you mean the Mellotron used magnetic tapes.

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

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 :(

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

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
