Mister Speaker is right though-- being available in churches definitely played a huge element in it. People get comfy learning on it and hearing it, and then learn how to push the limits.

OwlFancier posted:organistrum/hurdy gurdy video That's interesting, it didn't occur to me that a Hammond's wheels are essentially an electric hurdy-gurdy. You reminded me that this is a thing, and I think it fits the thread very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKE0TT1qo8E I'm not sure in what way this guy has 'prepared' the Horror Gurdy other than alternative tunings, but this is haunting. I kind of want an Apprehension Engine; the guy who 'invented' it is a luthier from around here - but apparently the base model is like $10k.

Dumb Sex-Parrot posted:In A Gadda Da Vida just wouldn't be the same without it Neither actually a Hammond - Vox Continental combo organs which were cheap transistor organs rather than the tonewheel style. Used by garage bands because they cost (and weighed) a fraction of the big B3/C3 setups. @Mister Speaker The Hammond is a surprisingly good church organ when played clean and without rotary speaker. Laurens Hammond hated the Leslie and refused to buy the company when he had chance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iajKU3EeBc4

I once saw a band named Hammers of Misfortune that used an electric B3 (i think) organ. They also said that was one of the reasons they didnt tour much.

This reminds me; a Finnish sculptor, Markus Copper, bought a set of used organ pipes when a church was removing theirs and used them to build a mechanical sculpture that was meant to mimic the sounds whales make. The result, called Archangel of the Seven Seas looks cool and was recently showcased at the local museum of modern art:  Video about the topic (cw: self-harm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHjfykusxsM) As an aside, Copper also made some other neat (or "neat", depending on your views) sculptures:  Juggernaut, a massive steel ball that had heat sensors and a motor so that it could roll over and crush the audience to death if they went to the cage with the ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv-w1FHPK_A&t=237s (I timestamped the relevant bit; it's just a short showcase of the sculpture)  Sixpack of Instant Death, a set of 6 metal sculptures that contained explosives with each one having a lock and a corresponding key; if the sculptures were connected to each other and and each had its key turned in its lock, the sculptures would all detonate. The Finnish police actually hunted these down some years ago to neutralize them.  Bourgeoisie door. Get it? To me there's something really fascinating about this kind of unusual & brutal art. Especially the idea of a sculpture that tries to roll over the audience is oddly interesting.

They really do look like weird--rear end goblins when they stand like that. They're uglorable. Endearingly scrotal.

I strongly suspect this is an old quad M2 mount meant for AA that's been repurposed. Four fifties is terrifying. Four miniguns is loving comical  Phalanx has one gun per, uh, pod. But I don't know about other countries/setups.

Honestly it's less problematic than being able to buy semi auto rifles. What's a civilian with a minigun gonna do, rob a bank? Pull it out to end an argument? I mean, it could probably do both of those things. But somehow it hasn't come up, unless you believe that report of a cartel in Mexico mounting one in a panel fan and using it for a drive-by.

If you buy a hand crank gatling gun, I think that doesn't technically count as a machine gun under US law because it's not firing multiple rounds per trigger pull. I don't know if that extends to electrically driven versions of the same mechanism.
