What is this? 1 octave bass organ?

1 octave bass organ? Or What is it?

Not an organ but a self contained rhythm and autochord unit. Clearly German, possibly Bohm. I'll ask on Vintage Organs and see if one of the German members can ID it.

Now positively identified as an early version of the Bohmat rhythm and 1 finger chords unit. This one's called the Bohmat Compact.

Thanks Andyg

...and a grateful nation breathes a sigh of relief. Positive identification has been established.

Böhm made a plethora of those crazy things, right up to the nineties. I've been trying to find that picture of Francis Lai unconvincingly using one of the later ones, which Bohm used to use on their brochures.

Give me a few days, then I can upload it! Have all the old brochures. But Lai already used the Böhm Digital Drums, which were really innovative at their time. And used by a lot of professional acts. That machine was more versatile than the Linn drum, but much cheaper! :)
