following text was deleted: "Al Kooper on the album "Super Session" with Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills. (It is there credited as an ondioline, an instrument with very similar tone and design which was developed by Georges Jenny around the same time.)"

reason:

[comment added later by Morgan Fisher, ex-member of Mott the Hoople] The previous writer is in error. Al Kooper did in fact play an Ondioline. I can confirm this by mentioning that (a) I own both an Ondioline and a Clavioline, and (b) Al verified this when I met him in 2003. My only disappointment was that Al - probably the only musician to have used the Ondioline so brilliantly in rock music - never owned one - he only rented them. I wish I could verify this by sources other than my own experience, but I can't. But anyone can email Al via his website: www.alkooper.com.

Dear wiki contributers! I've created an article on the Multimonica an early tube instrument from the '40-s. Please be so kind to review it, so I can add pictures, etc... Thanks! (I'm also a loving owner of a Clavioline.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Palatinszky (talkcontribs) 20:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

How Does It Work???

edit

Damn, there is nothing in this article on this instrument's technical basics! Does it use a heterodyne oscillator like the Ondes Martinot (and Theremin), or what? You don't need to go into graphic detail like some of the other more historically important early electronic instruments, but a little more than "it had a tube amplifier" would be nice.

Thanks!

Another song

edit

I think that a clavioline or similar instrument is used on The Ventures recording of Slaughter On Tenth Avenue. 98.30.46.61 (talk) 18:40, 14 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Huh!?!?!?

edit

This sentence seems clumsy to me - "John Lennon makes clavioline arrangements in the song Baby, You're a Rich Man, in the Beatles album Magical Mystery Tour". It seems it would be better said that "John Lennon played the clavioline in the song . . .". I am reluctant to change this without some consensus from other editors. Thoughts?THX1136 (talk) 14:32, 11 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Just change it. You only need consensus if you are changing content or meaning, not if you are just rewording for grammar or clarity. --hulmem (talk) 02:16, 12 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Being new I was unsure. Thanks for clarifying the matter. I appreciate your effort.THX1136 (talk) 16:28, 16 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
