  • Nice to see some Variophon on youtube - there are so few of us! I have the Gig and the Spot, and several blow controllers (like melodica - some I will sell - I prefer the keyboard). I also have all 11 voice cards except the 12th, very rare harmonica card.

    Keep blowing!!

  • @morganfjp If you will sell melodica-like controller I would love to buy it!

  • @morganfjp Are you willing to sell any of the voice cards? I would be very interested!

  • Hello,

    I bought one with the gig-rack. I couldn't get a sound out of it. I guess the keyboard needs electricity. If I shouldn't work I could sell it to you, the rack powers on and there are 4 cartridges.

  • i'd love one of these. just because of this:

  • @baudewijn1959 Hi! yes,I´m interested,expecially Variophon Gig 19" case with 6 modules and blow controller with keys (flute). Please, mail me about prices! ari

  • Very nice song.This song could slide in nice as a movie soundtrack piece.The tracks & sounds blend perfectly.Very moody & it's just plain cool.

    The expression you get out of that is amazing.

    So this instrument was using breath control BEFORE Yama ? Sounds better to me ,from what I remember,than what pros are getting out of Y's breath controller.

    Thanks for the demo - I never heard of this instrument.Funny,the vocoder has been making a come back,lately.

  • Good one!

    like the beat too :-)

  • I wasnt aware of the variophon til now.  I am impressed, the expressiveness and tone are excellent. Nicely played!
