This show is better than everything I can find on normal TV!

Massive congratulations, this was stunning! Can't believe all the period sets and costumes you used when recreating the history. So good I'll even forgive the cockney accent for the brummie Bradmatic guy. 😜 Jokes aside, top notch. Watched from start to finish. Huge congrats.

Dang it, I knew we should have postponed the shoot when the dialect coach couldn't make it! Seriously, thanks so much, Alex - that means a lot.

WOW, Alex Ball - I've watched practically all your videos 🤘😁🎹 - Awesome stuff mate🏆🥇🔥

I appreciate you sharing the story of my Grandpa’s organ…. the Chamberlin!! 😊🙏🏻💜 Keep sharing your love for music with others. Hugs

Who is putting all this filmmaking energy behind the passion for musical machines? It's outstanding content that is nearly unmatched on KZread.

Easily your best video : - Classic Syntaur tone. - Lots of String Machines. - Storytelling, staging, production quality are top notch. - Jason Schwitchzermon. Quality content made by passionate people. A treat.

Making a show like that is a full time job, and yet you still have time for your regular work. Great show guys.

It's why it took so long to get this episode finished, haha! But definitely a labor of love, and Lucas is DA MAN!

Absolutely in love with the filming and editing of this, incredibly classy. And loads of great information at that, wonderful work from the best in the biz!

It's interesting how over time the inauthenticity of older Synth string sounds have become sought after as sounds authentic to themselves.

I'm floored- this video was a masterpiece!! Absolutely and completed loved the gentle Vangelis melody in the background at 14:00!

You guys were already awesome and then you took it up a notch by adding Styx's 'Come Sail Away' and Dennis' commentary! Fantastic!!!

Dennis Deyoung (Styx) and Tony Banks (Genesis) were my two greatest inspirations for being a keyboard player. Loved the reference. I'd love to hear more from Dennis about his synths and a story about him and his synths which started in 1972 with the Moog 10 modular, then to the ARP 2600 & Pro Soloist, and finally to the series of Oberheim synths he used at the time of his greatest fame.

This is THE most definitive history of these glorious string machines. The historical details and production is absolute top notch. Well done!!

This is really, really great. LOVE it! Boy do these keys take me back. I used to gig with a Rhodes, a Mini-Moog, and an Arp Pro Soloist. Those were fun days.

Outstanding production quality. String synths were what drew me to synths as a kid - so to get 50 mins of detailed history and practical demonstration has made my day. I will be rewinding and watching again...

So well made! Love you guys

Really good production and content in this episode.

Absolutely loved all the old-timey sections with you appearing in them. Awesome work!

This is unbelievable content. The love you have for this stuff is so clear, well done.

This is quite possibly my favorite video I've ever encountered on KZread. The history is fascinating, every time I think of a question, you begin to address it. The visuals, sounds, pacing, topic choice and coverage, technical descriptions. All just perfect. This is fantastic! I'm going now to tell my Crumar Performer all about his ancestry.

Beautifully done.

Extremely well done. Thank you!

Great video guys love it!!

Amazing machines, such lush and uncanny sounds, and what an amazing docu, too. Well done!

Great Visual and Audio work 👌

Perhaps your best yet. I loved the recreation scenes; the setting and details were great. I loved the car window transition, big screen quality work!. Thank you.

You really outdid yourselves on this one; amazing video!!

What an amazing movie production! This is a true labour of love! Bravissimo!

This series is always great but you really knocked it out of the park with this one! Keep up the good work!

Interesting video. Well done on the presentation 👍

Thank you so much. This is just - Fabulous just brilliant and detailed with excellent product history.

Congratulations for the great quality of this video!!!!! +++++

the production in those documentaries is incredible!!! Great video full of interesting infos.

this was amazing. The effort is much appreciated

A Masterpiece thank you guys for the video production, BTW I'm happy with my VC-340

Fantastic video!

Simply incredible. Indebted to you guys for this invaluable content!

Very interesting once again, thanks a lot for doing those !

so glad to see this series really getting some traction, I hope you can start producing more of them, its such a good show that I love watching.

What an amazing job, to refurbish these dream machines! Their sounds are really a big part of the soundtrack of my life. Love your channel!

This video answered a lot of questions for me as I am fairly new to string synths. Amazing video, well done! Loved it :)

Wow! Amazing video! I have been waiting for this even before I could have imagined it (because I never realized strings have been my favorite synth sound until you separated it from the others). Thank you for so much wonderful information about this!! Very professional and well done!!!

Wow, what an incredible documentary. And so very well put together, the emotional and detailed story telling really got to me. It made me feel feelings.

Whoa guys ! Congratulations for the quality of your new video, that's good work !!!

Great job on the video! I know it takes time and planning, but it paid off. This was very interesting and fun to watch.

i only very recently discovered this channel, and was absolutely blown away. every episode has kept me interested and i’ve quickly lost track of hours of time just watching these episodes. i still can’t believe just how high quality every single one of these videos have been. keep up the great work!

Wonderful content here you definitely put the time to put out brilliant historical information you might find in rare musical books! Please keep your channel going what a treat!

You all rock! Thanks for putting the time into productions like this one. I am jealous for all the amazing history you get to put your fingers on and bring back to life. At least your videos are so good I sometimes feel like I'm there playing myself. :-)

You guys are incredible! Happened to stumble on your Yamaha CS-80 video and since have watched so many. But this video is brilliant and highly educational. Keep up the good work 👌👌

Man I love these Synth Wizards documentaries. Theyre so well done. I really hope you all continue putting them out. I know they must take a lot of time, but I am always excited to watch and rewatch them.

Another wonderful episode - I don't know how you do it. I love your work!

Another great vid, love the windshield sine wave on the synth mobile. Cracking! 😂

This video is EPIC!!! Thank you for sharing this with the world. We love our string synths in Tigercide, and we plan on collecting more.

You all really outdid yourselves with this one! Very well done, & much appreciated! Thanks for all the new-to-me info; here, I thought the Dave Spiers, et al. videos had taught me all there was to know. 😄

Outstanding. I loved your explanations of divide-down and BBD technologies.

Great episode! Really interesting stuff on these vintage beasts. Learned some things about the Mellotron I never knew. I also caught that RMI 300A "blue top" early in the episode (at 6:25.) My first pro keyboard was a '71 300B (on the B model they went to a black top) purchased new in January, 1972. I still have it and it still works. Would love to see you do an episode on RMI--the Electra Piano was widely used in prog (Rick Wakeman and Tony Banks used it extensively) and had an oscillator for every note. The RMI Keyboard Computer was arguably the first digital sampling instrument (the technology was developed by parent company Allen Organ in conjunction with Rockwell International--yeah, the guys who built the Apollo Command Module and the B1 bomber) and was pre-microprocessor--the sounds were stored on punch cards!!) The Harmonic Synthesizer was unlike anything else ever made--and a favorite of Jean Michel Jarre, who you mention in this episode. Their last instrument was the DK-20, a digital keyboard (hence the "DK") introduced at least a year BEFORE the Yamaha DX-7. If there's anyone who knows all there is to know about RMI it would be Clark Ferguson, who used to be their marketing director, and/or Tom Emerick, who was Chief Engineer. They're both retired now and hopefully still with us although I haven't seen them since the 70s when I used to make frequent trips to the factory in Macungie, PA. How about it, Sam?

Makes me weep for the Roland RS-202 I once owned. Loved every minute of this, outstanding work thanks so much to you and the whole team.

The Darjeeling Limited!!!! :) - Thanks for the show. Awesome as always! 😎👍

What a beautiful Strings-Synths Documentary, I'm so moved.

Great episode! One of the best ones yet! It was great hearing the history and great production value on all of the historic scenes and costumes. It was great to hear from Alex showing his respect for all your hard work. Both channels are some of my favorites ones watch. It is such an amazing synth community out there on KZread. It truly makes the world a richer and better place! Thank you.

Literally just saw this pop up on my feed and was blown away. Incredible production quality, super informative , really really awesome show; thank you.

It’s great that you folks exist, people that own vintage gear must REALLY appreciate you guys.

Wonderfully researched and realized.

Guys this is amazing work, I can’t believe how much effort you’ve put into this, very impressive and educational. Much appreciated, bless you!

UNbelievable video!!

thank you uncountable times for this beautiful historic musical journey, informative and entertaining alike! Damn I'm really in the mood for Tangerine Dream now! Thank you :-)

Great film. Really enjoyed!

You sir are quite amazing. I have watched countless clips/documentaries on Synths and after a while, I zone out, not with you! This was simply a joy to watch from start to finish and I got to learn a lot. This must have been a lot of hard work and it's easy to see your passion! thank you so much for this wonderfully informative, educational, and highly enjoyable episode! BRAVO!!!

Great show! The Crumar Multiman-S is also an incredible machine! I love it..

The production values in this video are insanely good!

Great documentary guys

This should be on regular television, what an absolutely outstanding KZread channel 👍🏻👍🏻

Wow. Really notching up the production value

Wow. Everything about this episode screams epic. Epic journeys, legendary instruments and kick ass cinematography! Hearty congratulations to the whole crew, and to Mr. Schwantzman for his new acquisitions.

Another glorious production. Better than most things on TV.

Love you guys. This is episode is so great. I’m a long time piano, B3 and synth player and I definitely love the sound of those old stringers. Someday I would love to own a vintage piece of kit like the ones in this video.

Such a well made and entertaining video!

AWESOME as always! Love it!
