Yes and the rarest musical instrument in the world with Chris Dale – 503

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we decided
to go really deeply into the technical weeds of Yes and look at an
instrument which appears on Tormato and not very many other places
in the musical universe. We are joined by the remarkable Chris Dale
who has devoted many years of his life to collecting and renovating
this, rarest of all musical instruments, the Birotron. We discuss
what Rick Wakeman had to do with this fascinating story, what the
Birotron is and why it was never put into production despite 1000
musicians wanting to buy one. It’s another deeply hidden part of
the Yesstory and one which Mark and I enjoyed finding out about
enormously. I hope you also find it an interesting diversion. What
is a Birotron?Where can you hear one?Why is it the rarest musical
instrument in the world? Listen to the episode and let us know what
you think! Help Save The Birotron Facebook page

Theme music The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky's
Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many
Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert - I
