Hohner String Melody II

Last week, I was poking around in Nord's sample library again, and in the Analog Strings section, I found two samples of the Hohner String Melody II (labelled "Hohn StrMelody2" and simply "Hohner").  According to the entry for this instrument on Vintage Synth Explorer, it's actually Italian and was made by Logan Electronics.  It seems that Hohner just took care of distribution outside of Italy.

Of the two samples available, "Hohn StrMelody2" is more mellow, and "Hohner" is brighter.

I don't know much about analogue string synthesizers (I can't even name any songs that use one), but I've enjoyed playing around with these samples.  I'm not sure if I'll use them for this project (the focus of which seems to be expanding from just the Pianet to all Hohner keyboards), but I thought I would note the existence of these Nord samples.

Mozart: Minuet in C major, K. 6

Like the last tune I did, I got this from James Bastien's The Older Beginner Piano Course, Level 2, but it's also in Bastien's Easy Piano Classics.  I used the Pianet T sample.

Haydn: Minuet in G major

To-day's Haydn's birthday, so here's one of his minuets.  I got this from James Bastien's The Older Beginner Piano Course, Level 2, but it's also in Bastien's Easy Piano Classics.  I used the Pianet T sample.

So far on this blog, I've been sticking to the Zacharias-designed Hohner keyboards.  I don't know if he had anything to do with these Bass keyboards (which are basically Hohner's version of the Fender Piano Bass), but I think they're interesting, so I'm posting this collection of pictures.  I also found the user manual on Internet Archive (although it seems to be a different edition than what's pictured above).
