KAWAI STEREOPHONIC RHYTHMER
KAWAI STEREOPHONIC RHYTHMER
Brand: Kawai
Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
This is a Kawai Stereophonic Rhythmer, an early-mid 70s stereo drum machine (some sounds pan left to right).
Serviced and in excellent working order.
We bought it because, like a lot of our more unusual gear, we'd never seen or heard one before. It needs a video demo doing so you can appreciate the flashing light blocks on the front but that won't capture the "maracas" (in a pretty loose sense of how the they sound) zipping from left to right. The sounds are pretty basic as are the rhythms (although they can be layered on top of each other by pressing multiple buttons) but it is nevertheless an odd and strangely compelling bit of vintage gear...
The condition is very good – some wear to the front panel and to the wooden sides, but overall it is a very groovy looking unit.
Converted to 240v operation.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."

“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON
Fantastic. From initial contact to the product landing at my door the service provided was outstanding. Safe and secure shipping, quality serviced product.

"Finally, a company that tracks down all those brilliant curiosities that bring so much character and personality to a studio."
JOSH LLOYD-WATSON & TOM MCFARLAND - JUNGLE
“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
