Brenton Wood - Gimme A Little Sign - what instrument
HI
Got this tune to do for the band. I can hear piano way back in the mix, but what is the instrument that does the solo lead. Is it a Stylaphone ?

Background on the Musitron — it’s a heavily modified Clavioline (grey box in the middle of the article):

Looks like it was Farfisa after all
That's His Farfisa Organ On Brenton Wood's 1967 Hit, "Gimme Some Kind Of Sign."
