What is a B-stock product?

A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing. It’s possible that the product itself may show slight signs of use or damage too. All B-stock products are fully checked to ensure that they work properly and you can find details of why the product is a B-stock in the information above.

B-stock information

The B-stock tab on the product page shows information about the B-stock product. Be aware that this information supersedes anything you may read in the product description. The product description includes text and specifications about the product in its brand-new state. It’s possible that a B-stock item may be missing accessories mentioned in the text or specifications, for instance, but if so, this will always be mentioned in the B-stock information. B-stock products also include photos of the actual B-stock item so that you can see exactly what it looks like.

B-stock photos

The B-stock photos allow you to see the actual B-stock product you are considering purchasing. The photos show the following::

  • Photo of the brand new product
  • Photo of the B-stock product with packaging (if included) and any accessories
  • Photo showing the front of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing the back of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing any damage to the B-stock product (if applicable)

General

Unless you've already managed to reach middle-age, you've probably never seen the likes of the Suzuki Omnichord before. Looking like something ripped from the dashboard of the Millennium Falcon, this sort-of part-keyboard part-keytar apparition first saw light of day in the early eighties and now makes a welcome return. The same charm-level is there, from the hands-on playability of the bank of chord buttons to the touch-strip, which is basically your 'strumming' strip, but can produce glissandos and single notes - as if you're playing a harp. Initially designed for music-makers with minimal music-making experience, the idea is that you simply select the right chord by pressing down the corresponding button and start playing.

The Incomparable Sound of the Suzuki OM-108 Omnichord

A remake of the original 1981 Omnichord, this slice of digital history celebrates Suzuki's 70th anniversary (you might also know Suzuki as the owner of Hammond - the organ people), and gives you exactly the kind of sound you would expect from the time period. Don't expect lushly sampled grand pianos, guitars, harps and so on. Instead, expect Nintento-esque sound generated by the very same simple oscillators that the developers had to hand forty years ago. But besides playable chords and melodies, there are also backing instruments - so drums and bass as well as keyboard-style accompanying chords. Next to the irresistible retro charm, this edition of the Omnichord also features MIDI, meaning you can expand the sonic palette as much as you want - just imagine linking it up with a Kontakt orchestra and steering the string section with your strumming-strip!

Famous Fans

While many musicians viewed the Omnichord as a trumped up toy when it was first released, this unique little sonic-weaver managed to find its way into the hearts of many a famous name, including David Bowie, Brian Eno, Joni Mitchell and Eurythmics. And, when the shiny new remake was recently unveiled at NAMM, none-other-than Stevie Wonder himself couldn't keep his hands off it. How's that for credentials?

Suzuki OM-108 Omnichord

Geweldig instrument, doet alles wat het beloofd. Zelfs inzetbaar voor muziekles bij kinderen met beperking, een echte aanwinst! Of voor improvisatie of begeleiding, met of zonder externe speaker. Wel vaak een extra verlengsnoer nodig omdat ik het zonder batterijen gebruik.

Suzuki OM-108 Omnichord

Sinds een video van barnabydixon interesse gekregen in deze synthesizer maar het was lastig om een ouder model te vinden op de nederlandse tweedehandsmarkt en vertrouw zelf niet zoveel in het kopen via ebay. Twijfelde enorm met de om-108 omdat de prijs veel hoger lag dan wat het allemaal aanbiedt ten opzicht van oudere modellen, maar uiteindelijk toch aangeschaft.

Erg leuke aanvulling voor de soundtracks die ik produceer, ik hou er namelijk meer van om iets fysieks te hebben dan een plugin te gebruiken. Voor de normale gebruiker is dit wel erg duur (daarom ook 3 sterren ipv 5). Persoonlijk had ik de prijs ergens tussen de 300 en 400 euro willen zien maar dat is helaas niet. Op amazon japan zou het blijkbaar voor de helft van de prijs worden verkocht, maar die raakt snel uitverkocht maar de moeite waard om het in de gaten te houden als je er een wilt bemachtigen.

Velen geven aan dat met inflatie de prijs zou kloppen, maar dat is helaas geen goede reden voor mij. Dit is nu meer gefocused op de markt die het kan kopen zoals youtubers/influencers, producers en/of hobbyisten die er het geld voor over hebben of het gratis kunnen krijgen voor hun review.
