Gazamba

Encyclopedia : G : GA : GAZ : Gazamba

The Gazamba is an electromechanical musical instrument, essentially a prepared electric piano. It was built by British composer and producer Chris Brown from the shell of a Wurlitzer electric piano, and produces its sounds via assorted springs, nuts, bolts and other metallic objects plus built-in electronic effects. As well as Brown's own compositions, the Gazamba made its way onto a number of more mainstream rock, jazz, pop and folk recordings during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
