[edit] Tronichord

Non notable musical instrument, even the article says It is very rare and even on the internet you won't find much information about it. DavidHumphreys SPEAK TO MEABOUT THE THINGS I MESSED UP 01:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Both this and Omnichord seem to be very similar to the infamous Stylophone. Maybe some sort of merge might be in order? --IslaySolomon 01:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep How can a musical instrument be non-notable? thats like saying we shouldn't have curium on wiki because it isn't used much for anything, pls allow for organic expansion! -- Librarianofages 02:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep but should definitely be expanded. The article is such a letdown: "this is an instrument that no one knows much about and so this is the end of the article." Pascal.Tesson 02:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Comment on my own comment: I added the expand tag to the article. Pascal.Tesson 02:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep After a Google image search it seems the Tronichord is quite distinct from the Omnichord: [1][2]. However to justify itself this article needs to explain in what way the Tronichord is distinct from, say, a standard electric keyboard. It also needs to explain why "Tronichord" is a distinct intrument and not just a brand name. In light of the Stylophone, I don't doubt that these are both true. --IslaySolomon 02:16, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment A generic musical instrument cannot be non-notable, however this brand of this particular musical instrument, (i beleive) is non-notable. As a parallel example - washing machines are notable white appliances, however there should not be an article on each and every brand and model of washing machine ever produced ... Wikipedia would end up looking like a Comet catalogue. Anyway, this page is here for discusion and that is what we are doing, so it is working !!!

      • comment you phrased it wrong, you should of pointed out that you thought that this was only a brand-name and which would strenghthen the case for deletion greatly. -- Librarianofages 02:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand per above. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 03:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge anything useful to Omnichord & Redirect. A Tronichord, from what I have been able to learn, was just a forerunner of the Omnichord (and made by the same firm), so effectively different from the Omnichord only in terms of its name and its being a bit primitive. The Omnichord then went on through various models and upgrades, whilst the Tronichord became the obscure ancestor we see before us. Here's a useful site. --DaveG12345 05:09, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Is this somehow notable? Any verifiable reliable sources? I'm looking at the music section of Toys "R" Us and there are all kinds of minor variations of electronic gadgets that go "plunk". Little Tikes Kazoozaphone? My First 18-Key Tabletop Piano?

  • Keep, Wikify and Expand, per above --Domthedude001 18:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
