They were rocking one of these at Synthfest a few days ago, does sound marvelous. On a Dulcitone note - I spoke to the granddaughter of Thomas Machel a while back and she had a photo of them stood outside their shop in Glasgow about 100 years ago. Nice to put some faces to the Dulcitone story. I'll have to dig it out.

[@modernlondonmusic]

So happy that you're back, Christian! You rock and you have been missed!

[@natus49]

The ability to do ring modulation with the varipan is hilarious and amazing at the same time

[@DerekMusic27]

Great to have you back, Christian.

[@PetraKann]

The custom Rhodes engineered MK8 analogue preamp features parametric EQ, independent drive, envelope control, wah, new vari-pan with 4 waveshapes, audio rate modulation capabilities and dual expression pedal control inputs. True analogue signal path.

Love you sir! Such unique and informative content every time! Glad for you to be back.

[@ErinIsBlueBlue]

So happy you to see you back Christian and with a Rhodes ! My favorite musical instrument in the world. While my vintage Rhodes is actually being in a professional process of restauration, i'm glad to know you are still up, vibing and fighting with us and for us. We love you Christian, welcome back home.

[@CYGNO]

I too am pleased to see you posting again. I have been thinking of you in the interim, weirdly some might think but given that we've met and chatted and also because i've watched a hundred of your videos, perhaps it's not so weird. It has been like when you've heard a school mate has had a horrible accident. Hope all close to you are well too.

[@phantasmodromeyannlatour894]

Beautiful instrument… and it’s lovely to see you back my friend!

[@namiaudio]

So good to have you back Christian! My KZbin wasn't the same without you. This Rhodes is very tasty indeed. I own a Mark I and it's the best purchase I've ever made.

[@tereshchukilya1]

Great to have you back! Thank you for continuing to make important and interesting content. 🔥🤝❤️

[@morrisfraser7236]

Nice reboot for an inspiring institution in the music industry - trusted, subtle-yet-complex, humble, challenging and well ahead if it’s time - made it’s mark, changed music but remembers what it’s great at. And as for the Rhodes Mk8, same. Well done.

[@al-creations]

Great to see you back Christian

[@aripjeetsidhu3819]

Hi Christian. I wasn't going to comment but then I saw the last minute of the video and felt I had to. I want to wish you a warm welcome back and to say I very much appreciate what you've done. I'm a subscriber and I've hit the bell button so I'm looking forward to future videos. Best wishes.

[@jon_gee]

Incredible and super cool. Rhodes never sounded quite like this. I love the flow of your explorations. Great chords.

[@maddietourmaline46]

This is lovely! I'm glad to get to hear it played and played with. I really want one now...

[@ephtrackx]

Nice to see you back, we missed this. And what a great vid!

Was so delighted to get this notification. Delighted you are back. I'm sure we disagree on many things, but my world is much better with you in it.

You are free to disagree, but he is right you know

[@paulnattress9584]

When I did my fantasy window shopping on the Rhodes website that's the colour I chose too! Looking forward to seeing more of your new toys and seeing the fun you had in Air Studios. Good to see you back making videos too, they do bring joy into my life. Oh and the Rhodes sounds stunning.

[@thislittleamp]

Been looking forward to seeing your name pop up here again!! ❤

[@quetzalmarchiori]

Lovely instrument! That instrument that is sharing so lovely sounds is what everyone should searching for. Thank you! Glad you comeback with so positive energy 😊

[@MrTomDangerous]

Almost no one watching this video could reasonably afford to buy it.

[@quetzalmarchiori]

@@MrTomDangerous yes, I just watched their prices. Maybe better a harp? 😁

That dulcimer in the beginning is to die for! Especially when paired with the Rhodes. Incredible tone

Great to see you back, thanks for the video, and keep moving forward with strong spirit. 💪

Welcome back! Missed these vids. Always keeps me inspired

[@rubenianua8577]

I like your music and the kind atmosphere of your videos. Very happy to see you back. Keep it up.

[@irbomusic]

I'm glad you're back Christian! You're an amazing teacher, I've learned so much from you and I hope you can continue to teach others and share your experience.

[@TemmeSikkema]

I always secretly hoped you’ll do a The Blue Nile deep dive ever since your move to Scotland, the excellent Castle Sound creative cribs episode and Solstice. Your love of synths and your excellent taste in music will eventually make this inevitable, won’t it? For a while there I was afraid we’d not meet again. But look who’s back! Mister Henson, welcome back. My hope of some day watching you do a remake of “Walk Across The Rooftops” with Solstice strings and your synth arsenal has been restored. ❤

[@lit3work]

My all time favourite band Temme. I like your thinking.

[@TemmeSikkema]

@@lit3work They are fantastic. And I know Christian likes them too. What my REAL mission is, is to find out whether that piano he sampled in Castle Sound for Intimate Grand Piano is a grand that might have been used by the band in the past as well ;-)

[@colinjames2469]

yootoob really has not been the same over the past few weeks.... Not now! Very happy to see and hear you again Christian. All the very best.

[@loicdesjardins809]

Good to see you back online, we missed you. When I get old, I'll have a Rhodes and a Jaguar F-Type matching the color. Now that's life.

Your love for a good instrument is infectious. Annd that 808 bonus at 5:24.

[@matthewmcmichael6416]

Christian is back!!! Great review. Sounds like it will live very nicely between a synth and a piano. (and love to see you rocking the BM5as in the background--got a pair myself!)

[@bricelory9534]

Glad you are back and sharing things - I have always enjoyed your perspective as a media music creator in a gear-filled world of electronica musicians - it is great having differing perspectives, it helps me grow as a musician myself!

[@memorybugmusic]

What a lovely surprise to see a new video from you today Christian. Made my day mate, cheers.

[@Aedhon]

I'll join the chorus, welcome back! I was glad to see this popping up, I'll have to watch it later but wanted to express my sympathies and say 👋

[@MrMoviePhoneEx]

Great to see you again! More than a few of those sounds just bleed personality and character. I often watch your stuff and think - how could I use that in a project? But listening to that distortion, it wasn’t even a question. And that deeper body, more rounded low end would help it sit nicely in the mix too :)

[@afrotrumpet2246]

Dude you must be loaded to have been able to get your hands on one of these! Congrats on the hard work! Looks like you earned it. Also I read a comment about something happening to you over a couple weeks. I'm not sure what it was but it's good to see you in better spirits. Looking forward to more content from you

[@djohnson2449]

Christian, your artful videos are among my all-time favorites. Thank you for sharing your wit and exposition, the guidance of your tutorials, and your incredible contribution to the world of sampling and high-performance sample playback. You have enriched my life with your work, and I send my warmest regards and best wishes. Very happy to see you back!
