Phil Adams Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Skeleton and Roundabout. How did they get the synth sounds? Any of us more mature students any idea. Always loved the song when I were a lad, and still do. Must have been made in 1968 and surely (Shirley) pre dates Moogs and the like.

Phil Adams Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 At the end of the second line of the verses. Sounds a bit like a Harmonium. edit, Just listened again and I think I've got it. Rolf Harris on Stylophone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
