I am flipping out. Earlier today, I saw this instrument in the "Free - Come and Get It" section of Craigslist in my area. I told my son, "Wouldn't it be cool to get this thing and sample it to make an instrument?" Fast forward six hours and I click on a pianobook video, which recommended Jon here. I peek over at his playlist and I see THIS VIDEO. Crazy. Gotta love it.

This is so stinkin cool. I just found out about the fun machine when I saw one on marketplace for $150. I’m so glad you guys did this.

Intrigued to hear how this comes out. The Optigan, Talentmaker, Mellotron etc are so much fun, but they're very overused. I think I heard of this thing a while back but had forgotten about it and you've reminded me! Anyway, look forward to the result. Have a nice weekend Jon.

Embarrassed to admit I've never heard of The Optigan and the Talentmaker. I need to research.

@@JonMeyer You've definitely heard them, even if you don't know what they are. I demonstrate a couple of examples in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/poSpsMShetXWo84.html

You don't need all that expensive shit to sample a Baldwin Fun Machine!

Great stuff as always! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥

Wow impressive work. About halfway through the video, after hearing Joel talk, it hit me how little I know about many things in the recording world. Inspiring!

I hope to get Joel in these vids more often. He will have you wanting to start building microphones.

This is a new instrument to me, looking forward to hearing the results

Fun times. 70s Throwback! Just saw one of these for sale, listed for $25. Can't wait to hear this one,

My friend I was going through my flea market and I found a Baldwin fun machine and I do t know much about it or the value of it. Could you help me with it. It’s in great condition

How exciting Jon. Puts me in mind of Gotye around 10 years ago kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJqFo6ymgarFqNY.html . Very interested to hear the results and whether you'll re-score your Westworld piece with it Ha Ha . Good to see you haven't changed much in the last 5 years since you were in your twenties. ;-)

Thanks, Nigel. I sure was hoping we would get more from Gotye. I loved that album!
