Welcome to Echo Elk Central! This blog is dedicated to musical instruments and related electronics produced under the Echo and Elk brand names in Japan during the 1960's and 1970's. Information such as the company's history, product profiles, and technical information like schematics and owner's manuals can be found here.
The format and layout of this blog is very simple. On the right hand side is a column listing the various products produced by the company. Simply click on the product of interest and the information will appear on the left. Feel free to post comments and questions at the bottom of the page. All submissions are checked before being posted. SPAM, solicitations for selling, and malicious text will not be tolerated.
Most of the information on this blog will be technical in nature and it is intended to help owners of these products to maintain their equipment. There is no guarantee of accuracy in these documents since the company made many undocumented changes in their products during the manufacturing process. Please use the information with this in mind.
This blog will not use a lot of flashy animations, modern color schemes, or impressive fonts. The focus instead is on high contrast and ease of readability. Please feel free to send in your comments if there is something which could be done to improve the viewing experience of this blog.
