It's Cembalet Party Time!

Let´s go to the bar and listen to the sounds of the Mag´net Quartet featuring Michael Ramos playing the CEMBALET.

The rarely heard instrument, where the player could control the volume with the knees (!), was developed by the genius inventor Ernst Zacharias for HOHNER in the late 50´s.

You can find this swinging little record at my beloved Berlin Beatet bestes which in the past few weeks alone has posted this record of the failed dance craze "The Pop-Art":



as well as this music-on-cardboard tune of the Scottish Twist (I dig the papery scratchy sound!);



Which qualifies them for music blog of the century, in my book.
