Good to see Rowland Emmett is alive and well.

I really love this guy and the way he's pushing the limits of a mechanical design synthesiser with balls (both meanings included 😉 ).

Great. Thanks for sharing @stewblack . 👍

I watched it open mouthed. I knew nothing about the huge machine at the end. That blew me away

Mrs. Pook showed me this.

It's brilliant.

Not quite what I was expecting. I thought the whole process including moving the "capos" was going to automated.

If an operator has to keep moving the fretting parts you might as well employ a bass player.

Does someone want to tell him about Cubase/Logic/Reaper/Ableton?🤣

It’s undoubtedly ingenious, though I wouldn’t fancy having to get it upstairs to the function room at the Dog & Duck...

A bit crossed with Emmett Brown, in this case.

I discovered him some years ago through this video sent to me by my sister-in-law :

Completely brilliant. Love the engineering in this, even if it is a bit Heath Robinson in places

If he'd made the 'capos' sprung he could have left out all the faff with making it super adjustable...
