The Teleharmonium was a giant Hammond Organ where the tonewheels are AC generators of various frequencies rated in the kilowatts. There were no amplifiers.
Very interesting time line about factual sine wave sound synthesis... . Don't forget to mention the pipe organ before the Hammond organ and the sine waves multiplications that lets me think about FM-synthesis as a kind of additive synthesis with sine-waves--on-sine-waves-on-sine-waves (carriers and modifiers) building blocks with John Chowning and the yamaha dx-series synthesizers.
I actually have a Kawai K5000W by accident (that story is not as interesting as any of the ones you said). I’m still looking for a good repair shoppe to bring it up to spec =]
I think you missed an important part of the history of electronic music, which is the people who made it with whatever they could, for example tape sample recording based synthesis [a la the dr who theme], or Les Paul & Mary Ford's overdubbing, which sorta doesn't feel like it should be, but definitely represents early sound modification process.
Kawai K5000W owner here!

Loved this. You forgot the secret sauce of additive, Image-Line's Harmor. 😃

guy looks just as ripped as I do right now! love it.

- Best music story I ever heard 😎
This is amazing.
the first additive synthesizer is the pipe organ
What a lovely story.
Great video!

Brilliant and educational story and presentation 👍

Cahill’s teleharmonium will *not* be found on Reverb 😁
Wow
Some rich Folks should realy make a remake of the Telharmonium!!! It´s so sad they don´t exist anymore. Make a Jurassic Park of Synthesizers.
what a story! drop the phone lol
Few less blunts and you might need fewer takes and be able to see without squinting =) That was gripping stuff!
Im Dead hahah
