Hohner String Melody II
Hohner String Melody II
Hohner String Melody II is a stringer synthsizer. Stringer synths were produced in the seventies to recreate the sounds of strings. Off course they didn’t really sound like strings, but that was the charm. They were used extencivly on records from the early seventies to the early eighties. The best known stringer is the Arp Solina. The Hohner String Melody II (Also produced under the name Logan String Melody II) is arguebly among the best string synthesizers from this time. It sounds fat and synthetic – just the way it should. As with other stringers it benefits when processed through a phaser effect. The idea of proccesing a stringer through a phaser came from Jean Michel Jarre. He used a guitar phaser pedal, The Small Stone phaser.
