Suzuki Omnichord OM-300
Suzuki Omnichord OM-300
This OM-300, recently unearthed in a storage unit, is like a long-lost ancient treasure owned by the British Empire, never to be returned to its country of origin! You could be its new colonial owner.
This Suzuki Omnichord OM-300 comes in its original box, with a strumplate overlay and owner’s manual. Wow! It’s in shiny condition and ready for your collector’s box.
This Omnichord is on consignment for a customer. We give it a clean bill of health and have cleaned it up. Replacement power supply included. Works with batteries.
What a delight it would have been to be there when Michelangelo painted "The Creation of Adam" - Suzuki OM-300 included! With the introduction of the final Omnichord that Suzuki would create (no, we don't count the Q-Chord), a wonderful array of religious themed marketing booklets & strumplate overlays followed.
The OM-300 is very nearly a re-skinned version of the OM-250m -- instead of a splay of colorful buttons along a jet-black Omnichord, we were gifted the sleek, sexy ivory body of the OM-300, sporting all of the same features as the 250m, and with no bother to introduce anything new!
Capping the family of Omnichord instruments, the OM-300 has beautiful "Omni" voicings (unlike the OM-100 and OM-200) to allow for a similar tone as the earlier OM-27, while also allowing for a host of other options - Harp, Celeste, Organ, Strings, etc., etc... David Bowie would, at the 9/11 Tribute Concert in New York City, sport this very unit on stage for a solo performance of "America", featuring the OM-300 on "Waltz" with the Strings section included.
Besides the tear-wiping beauty of the Bowie performances, the OM-300 is also one of the most prominently heard in popular music -- from the High Fidelity's "Omnichord Album", to Gorillaz, to Daniel Lanois, to Hosono Haruomi, the OM-300 has been used by a mind-bogglingly large list of musical freaks and geeks. Just keep your ear peeled, for no one knows the hour of the coming of the Omnichord...
