Orchestron

The Vako Orchestron is a keyboard instrument made in the 1970s, that produces its sound through electronic amplification of sounds pre-recorded on an optical disc. It is the professional version of the Mattel Optigan, an earlier and lower-priced model intended for amateur musicians.

This article is about the optical-disc based keyboard instrument. It is not to be confused with Orchestrion, a general term applied to mainly pipe-based instruments designed to mimic an orchestra.
