Hammond Novachord built in 1939 Ancestor of the synthesizer! 😱

This instrument can be considered as an ancestor of the most modern synthesizers; built way back in 1939...amazing!
The Hammond Novachord absorbed so much electrical energy that the lights in the room where the instrument was placed dimmed considerably 🥶😅🤪🤭

Grazie Alex, il pianista si chiamava Billy Mayerl ed è stato anche un compositore.

Old man: this electronic cheesy music will never go anywhere! Grandson: Hold my Jupiter 8, Tr-909 and Juno 106 Grandad!
