following text was deleted: "Al Kooper on the album "Super Session" with Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills. (It is there credited as an ondioline, an instrument with very similar tone and design which was developed by Georges Jenny around the same time.)"

reason:

[comment added later by Morgan Fisher, ex-member of Mott the Hoople] The previous writer is in error. Al Kooper did in fact play an Ondioline. I can confirm this by mentioning that (a) I own both an Ondioline and a Clavioline, and (b) Al verified this when I met him in 2003. My only disappointment was that Al - probably the only musician to have used the Ondioline so brilliantly in rock music - never owned one - he only rented them. I wish I could verify this by sources other than my own experience, but I can't. But anyone can email Al via his website: www.alkooper.com.
