QR Code Link to This Post
If you're looking for a vintage keyboard with character, this is it. The Baldwin Fun Machine is a wonderfully weird piece of 1970s electronic instrument history, combining an electric organ with synthesized voices, built-in rhythm patterns, auto-bass/chord accompaniment, vibrato, and a built-in amplification system.
This isn't your typical home organ. The Fun Machine has a distinctly analog, quirky, funky 1970s sound that has become increasingly popular with recording musicians, producers, collectors, and anyone looking for unusual vintage keyboard textures.
The instrument includes a variety of selectable voices and effects along with a built-in rhythm section featuring vintage patterns such as swing, foxtrot, dixieland, ragtime, polka, rumba and bossa nova, depending on the model/version. The one-finger auto-bass and chord functions make it particularly fun to play. reverb.com
The Fun Machine has been used by modern recording musicians specifically for its unusual vintage character, and its quirky combination of organ, synth-like sounds and rhythm accompaniment makes it particularly interesting for recording studios, experimental music, indie rock, psychedelic music, lo-fi productions and vintage-keyboard collectors.
