Here's a short video of a friend of mine trying out an Ondes Martenot, owned by the professional Swiss pianist and organist Jacques Tchamkerten.

He was here to play some works by Francis Poulenc and Olivier Messiaen, together with a local choir and some people from Malmö Symphonic Orchestra. The day before the concert he held a lecture where we had the opportunity to try it out right after. Do I have to mention it was of course a fantastic experience!!! Very Happy

He did only bring Le Diffuseurs 1 & 3 though, but the 3 sounded really cool.

Here's some photos from the lecture:

Happy you!
It is one of the most fascinating instruments ever created.
I've seen one at the MIM in Brussels, but never played it...
