Have You Ever Heard Of The Novachord?

I have just found out via Analog Suicide that SonicState.com, has among other extremely cool things a whole series on the weirdest instruments ever.

And weird they are.

For example Hammond’s Ghostly Synth - The NovaChord

A Blurb from Sonic State

Back once again, it’s our occasional foray into the land of the obscure, strange and downright peculiar. And this episode it’s the turn of the Hammond Novachord.
Pick any horror movie from the 40’s and 50’s and the chances are that the soundtrack featured one of these bizarre sounding keyboards from Hammond.

I love this! I had no Idea that sythisizers went all the way back to pre WW.
