Circuit Bent Yamaha TG-33 on Ebay

This is the first time I've ever seen one of these circuit-bent. I owned a (non-bent) TG-33 many years ago. It was pretty amazing for pads for such a cheap piece of gear. There's video on the auction page and it seems like the circuit-bending definitely opens up the possibility for weird, ambient sounds.

What Are TableHooters?


If your first thought was of a place where girls in skanky outfits serve you terrible chicken wings, you're probably not alone. In fact, this appears to be a German phrase used to describe consumer and toy-grade musical instruments and noisemakers. This website breaks down dozens and dozens of them into categories and contains profiles, pictures, reviews and lots of interesting information. This would be an excellent reference for circuit-bending enthusiasts or even just people interested in weird, forgotten instruments. Lots of good reading!
