Intro

Chamberlin

Developed by Wisconsin inventor Harry Chamberlin and produced from 1956 up to the early 80s. An innovative keyboard instrument with key-triggered tape heads that activate and play back seconds-long clips of instrument recordings. Harry Chamberlin recorded most of the sounds himself in his home studio. Only officially distributed in the US and Canada. The famous Mellotron was developed as a somewhat illicit copy of Chamberlin instruments brought to the UK by a Chamberlin salesman. The Chamberlin can be heard on David Bowie's Low, as well as on many other major recordings from the 60s and 70s.
