The story
Imagine my delight at finding a Marxophone “in good condition” for sale on the very first day of searching for only fifty-seven dollars! A week later when it arrived, I realized quickly exactly why everyone else had passed on this instrument. I had just bought an instrument in really bad condition. I had a decision to make: either return it, or accept a big project. Fortunately, I have a lot of patience and a well-equipped wood shop. For something different, I sampled this Marxophone post restoration through various chains of pedals in my collection. In addition to the dry sounds Kontakt only, there are 22 sounds processed through pedals for Kontakt and EXS.
