More Technical Jars; this time from the 80's

The eighties jars have a richer sound than the modern ones but the early models sound greatest

Always jelous of such a fine collection of prog equipment.

As for the google search, we must thank KPG for the opportunity to laud these underated but majestic instruments.

That's a nice set but they will never sound as good as the 1972 Fender Jazz jars

then you'd love the Technical Jars. They're all about the whirling cosmic noise. In fact, I bet that awesome whirling cosmic noise is from the use of the technical jars

"That guitar thing they used in Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones, I believe, is a Coral Electric Sitar. And that's what I voted for.

Where did the harpsichord go? I don't really like neo-jars. Back to the seventies!

You know the prog metal jars are becoming increasingly popular among the vintage jar fans.

It's nice to know that people can salute the jar without becoming obsessed with them.

BTW, I'm sure that last metal jar on the right is a Taiwanese copy.

The important thing is - are they analog or digital jars ?- I think you loose the warmth and feel with digital

Confusion will be my epitaph
