I ran across this very interesting turntable hybrid in a Google Video search for turntablism. It appears to be a turntable, mixer and bongo drum all in one! Check it out at the scratchophone website. This concept is absolutlely off the hook!!! I can see some real potential in this instrument. Very nice job on thinking of an awesome concept and turning it into a reality! Keep up the good work - stick at it. This hybrid really takes the ‘turntable as a musical instrument‘ movement to the next level!

Two faders up. T T.
I have a few questions for the creators of this ingenious invention:
1. How does the tone arm stay in place without skipping or damaging the record?
2. Exactly what type of fader are you using?
3. How do I get my hands on one to test it out? Where are you based?

Howdy, the fader he uses is a Pro X Fade from Ebsel: www.eclecticbreaks.com/proxfade/
I’m happy to announce we will be bringing these faders into Australia, and we will have stocks at the end of April. Contact us at ebsel@ebsel.com.au for any sales enquiries.
Hi guys ! I’ll try to answer your questions :
1. How does the tone arm stay in place without skipping or damaging the record?
This is a simple tangential tonearm, locked in position, with a scratch proof vinyl.
2. Exactly what type of fader are you using?
Pro x fade because it’s have a mechanical cut in time adjustment.
3. How do I get my hands on one to test it out? Where are you based?
I’m based in Quebec city, CA.
Thanks for you pro-active comments about this project
