Historical Context
The choralcelo was one of the earliest electronic (more properly, electromechanical) instruments, developed during the last decade of the 19th century by Melvin Severy and George B. Sinclair of Arlington, Massachusetts.
Commercial production was begun in Boston in 1909 by the Choralcelo Company, under the direction of C. D. Farrington and A. Hoffman, who continued improving it.
The sound was generated by a sophisticated system of tone-wheels that excited various wood and metal resonating bodies electrically, and it was entirely unamplified. A more successful and manageable instrument than its contemporary, the Telharmonium, approximately 100 Choralcelos were produced and sold before the company failed in 1920.
