Post by: SoundCitizen on Dec 29, 2008, 08:55 PM
I was at the show last night in Chicago. Jim James was playing some kind of keytar-like instrument. Anyone know what that is?

Are you speaking of the omnichord? Wasn't there, just an educated guess.  ;)

Oh the ominchord...there are so many posts asking what this beautiful tool of musical magic is. I guess it shows how often new fans are found...welcome to the board SoundCitizen

"An Omnichord is an electronic musical instrument manufactured by the Suzuki Musical Instrument Corporation. It typically features a touch plate and numerous chord buttons. The most basic method of playing the instrument is to press the chord buttons, and strum the touch plate. Omnichords often feature preset rhythms with a tempo control which the player may use as accompaniment. Other features may include a selection of voices, and effects such as vibrato and sustain, as well as a chord memory in more advanced models."

To most of us its akin to a Casio keyboard, but in the right hands its a little plastic Japanese slice of heaven...

Carl said he put Bigsbys on his Les Pauls because of this guitar.
Good enough for me if true or not 8-)
