My first and only bending target for a couple of years was this OM-27

Jeffrey Morgan, saxophone player and great improviser found this Suzuki Omnichord model 27 in his backyard, complete with case, manual and empty batteries. I played on the outside for about 10 minutes, being overwhelmed by the boringness of this instrument, when suddenly a screwdriver slipped into my hand.... I had to open it to see, which amount of electronics where wasted for such a silly sound. Then I touched the circuit board by accident, the thingy did his first cry, and I thought hey, THAT was something..... |
