1. HA, WOW! I figured for sure based on the description and you’re comment, “For some reason, the Kaleidophon never made it into production,” that this was going to be an absolute catastrophe. Instead I a, so angry at my 1976 predecessors for having not mass-produced this. Amazing

2. It may not have gone into production but David Vorhaus still plays a Kaleidophon very similar to this one in the video. A later model. http://thequietus.com/articles/17531-david-vorhaus-white-noise-interview

3. That is actually pretty damn cool.

4. It seems a huge dick!

   1. Thank you very much. That’s all I could think when watching the video.
      Couldn’t he have thought about a different configuration of harness?

      Surely he’s taking the piss. (making fun)

5. Gives new meaning to “playing solo”…

6. I love it when he throws his head back in the middle of the solo. I want this, let’s get a Kickstarter project goin’

7. The wankaphone.

8. he was playing in the band The Electric Dildos for sure :D. What a great idea

9. A musical strap-on. That’s gotta hurt.

10. Cool! At the 2 minute mark in the documentary shows the inventor is using the Kaleidophon to control what looks like a EMS VCS3 aka The Putney.
