Hammond clone anyone?
Re: Hammond clone anyone?
@tulamide
I was aware of the instrument and the article, but I think it’s relevant and interesting for anyone who isn’t.
What fascinates me is the drive to use whatever technology is available to create musical sound, starting way back with bones and tree branches made into flutes!
Cahill didn’t have the possibility to use vacuum tubes for amplification, but that didn’t stop him following his vision, even though his instrument weighed 200 tons and needed 15kW of power (probably because he needed a lot of energy because the stators for the alternators were electromagnetic).
Now I need to check out electric arc speakers…

Sometimes I wonder if Cahill was a time traveller. Imagine, he accidentally ended up in the past, and used his knowledge to create something that clearly was way ahead of its time. But, if he wasn't a time traveller, it makes it even more astonishing!
