Crumar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crumar is an Italian company which manufactured synthesizers and keyboards in the 70s and 80s. Its name is taken from that of its founder, Mario Crucianelli. Crumar synthesizers are comparable and contemporaneous to Moog synthesizers and other analog synthesizers. In fact, Crumar's Spirit synthesizer was originally designed by Bob Moog himself, along with Jim Scott & Tom Rhea.

Space Jazz musician Sun Ra occasionally played the Crumar DS-2. Keyboardists Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran and Gilles Snowcat from Awaken use or used the Crumar Performer. The Crumar Performer was known for having a string section that could almost beat the more expensive ARP.
