Ondioline Demonstration with Glissando! Custom Tube Synth

Steve Christie from Vintage Keys Studio demonstrates a working Ondioline from 1956.

The instrument, designed and built by Georges Jenny, came to us in 2015 need of a total overhaul and has been restored by Steve for daily usage in the studio for warm analog Basslines, solo timbres and special effects.

Steve designed and built a prototype Glissando control attachment for this instrument, and also made an extra gain stage after the original tone generator. This output is then fed into an external speaker, or can be re-routed back into the original 9 inch, 4 ohm speaker. A schematic and instructions for the Glissando control will be available soon from the VintageKeysStudio website. Please DM for details, or leave a message in the comments section... or visit https://vintagekeysstudio.com and send a message there.,

Recorded using an Antelope Audio edge solo mic in front of the external speaker, with two AKG C414 ambient mics in the room. (Voice picked up with JZ V67)



The video includes a piece called 'Sir Jeffrey's Theme' written by Steve Christie and performed by Steve Christie's Wrong. It is from the forthcoming album 'The Vintage Keys Studio Collection'
