Crumar

Crumar was an Italian electronic musical instrument manufacturer established by Mario Crucianelli in the late 1960s, which manufactured synthesizers and keyboards during the 70s and 80s. Its name stands for “CRUcianelli and MARchetti”, the names of Crucianelli and business partner Marchetti. The company appears to have grown out of the Crucianelli accordion company and also continued to manufacture accordions under both names. Crumar started out manufacturing electronic pianos and string synthesizers, such as the Compac-piano (1972/1973), Compac-string (1973), Pianoman (1974) and Stringman (1974), the functions of which were combined in 1975 with the Multiman (also known as the Orchestrator), and in 1977 with the Multiman-S. The company was also known for “clonewheel” organs made in the 70’s and 80’s, such as the Organizer (1974), Organizer T1 (1978) and T1/C (1981), T2 (1978), and T3 (1981).Crumar ceased trading in 1987, just as they were about to launch a high-quality sampler at the lower end of the market. In 2008 the Crumar brand was acquired by a new Italian company that soon began producing new keyboards under the Crumar name, including the Baby Grand piano (introduced at the 2008 Musikmesse), Bassman bass synth, and Mojo clonewheel organ. In 2018 a digital electric piano called Seven was introduced. It featured modern day technology in a wooden vintage 1970’s style case. (Wikipedia Source)
