Sound Dust have released FELT DULCITONE, FELT DULCITONE, a new, magical keyboard instrument, a refreshing alternative to the tired and overused standard. It’s available for £40.00 / $50.00 / €45.00.
Organic and packed with character, FELT DULCITONE has an otherworldly presence and warmth that feels personal, like the loving nuzzle of a furry pet in front of a crackling open fire.
Originally designed and manufactured in Scotland in the 1800’s, and with allegedly only 2000 in existence, a DULCITONE is a portable keyboard that was made for missionaries to hump around remote African village churches to help perk up hymn services.
It has a very basic piano action with spring-loaded felt covered hammers striking small magnet shaped tuning forks. Like a Fender Rhodes electric piano without electricity, with a very lovely woody, clonky glockenspiel/celesta kind of sound.
