RE: univox stringman
2005-10-27 by Jean-Francois Verreault
I found a stringman lying in a garbage pile near my house a few months ago; it was in terrible condition but I managed to get most of it to work after a bit of work. Unfortunately, I too was unable to find any information on this instrument. My quest for schematics has turned up empty. Mine has a couple of divider chips gone wrong, which I need to replace, but I haven't really tried to find replacements yet (let's hope they're still available). It's definitely made by Crumar -- I have a crumar Performer and the strings sound very similar to that, although the "chorus/phaser" and envelope are very different. If you find additional info on this instrument, please post it here; I'll do the same. J.F.

From: "midnitesoulhammer" <midnitesoulhammer@...> Subject: Univox Stringman Just picked up this neglected beast and gave her the once over. She plays fine with the acception of 2 bass keys and one cello key being out.I'll open her up again sometime later and fix that. So far I've found NO information on it, only a picture. I understand it might be a Crumar re-package, seeing how all the parts inside read Crumar. Also the serial # reads " 1 " in the first small box and then " 0018 " in the larger box next to it.Could it be the 18th made? Any info would be extremely helpful.(i.e - dates, manuals, schimatics) Thanks in advance, Dwayne - Atlanta,GA.
